Our gardens reflect the essence of each home and the personality and taste of each family. Our landscape architecture creates a synergistic environment where structure and nature blend. This is the philosophy of The Garden by Chio approach to design spaces.

ONE STYLE: TWO DIFFERENT CONCEPTS

A garden, as a space, must respond well to the particular needs of each owner, that is why it is very important to firstly, have a clear understanding of the client’s requirement.

Good planning, space distribution and accurate selection of vegetation are also essential elements for success.

The private gardens have a double function, they have the characteristic of being an extension of the house as a space to be inhabited, and they are also a space for contemplation, which we look at from inside the house, thus becoming its window towards the nature.

We analyse two gardens of similar characteristics, located in the same residential area and with similar geometry. A wall of middle height delimits by three parts a squared space, with a back door that opens to the common spaces, the perimeter is completed by one of the facades of the house, to which the main spaces of life are opened.

Following the same design principles for both gardens, the result in the formalization of the space has been the very opposite due to the needs of the clients. While in the first, space is segregated creating independent environments, in the second, the space is chosen to dilute the various uses, housing all in the same space, providing greater versatility to the whole. Intimacy versus amplitude. Definition versus versatility.

For our team, every small garden is a big challenge; we believe that being able to project a landscape on a smaller scale in a small space, is an exciting project.
