In agreement with the architects, we decided to have a distribution of the garden through the house.
A reception area, upon entering the plot, stops vehicles and structures pedestrian traffic. Access to the building is via a main driveway which leads to the entrance portico. Dense planting in some places and carefully framed in others ensures the privacy of the rest of the plot.
A large mineral square extends around the house, extending from the living rooms. The dining area was strategically placed in a shaded area connected to the neighboring family plot. A few steps then lead to a relaxation area connected to the living room and the library.
On the north side, we have created a patio in the basement between the private spaces of the rooms and a sports area with sauna and hammam. Fig trees, ferns and foliage of all shapes make up a fresh and luxuriant picture of greenery.
A large area of grass makes the transition between the square in direct connection with the house and the bottom of the plot with the swimming pool. This breathing space is highlighted by a pergola covered with wisteria. Benches below provide a resting area in the shade of fragrant flowers.
At the back of the house, the plant palette includes Mediterranean species. Perennials, yarrow, fennel and grasses recall elements of the South. On the front part, the horticultural palette is made up of hydrangeas, ball boxwood, daylilies, lilies... An assumed dichotomy which underlines the obvious separation between the reception area at the entrance and the rear part, reserved for family.
