UN PASILLO LATERAL RECONVERTIDO EN SALÓN EXTERIOR En este proyecto de salón exterior, la parcela presentaba una configuración clásica en ELE de chalet pareado. Las calidades son bonitas y el aplacado en piedra junto con el hormigón de los forjados nos daban la posibilidad de contrastar con la calidez de la madera, el acero corten y el tono oscuro de las gravas que nos gustan. El corredor lateral no invitaba al uso, pero tenía dimensión suficiente para crear una habitación exterior resguardada del calor intenso de la tarde, disfrutando de una orientación casi norte. En España en general, pero en las zonas continentales aún más, es crucial disponer de varias orientaciones en el jardín para maximizar el uso durante el año. La zona principal del jardín, a la salida del salón, está más expuesta al sol de la tarde, con lo que la hemos reservado más para la vida nocturna y los días invernales. Para competir con la valla de simple torsión hemos plantado un seto de photinia que crece a una velocidad considerable y no presenta enfermedades, aportando además variedad de colores verdes y rojizos que nos encantan en la paleta de color del jardín. Hemos conseguido desviar la atención desde los tres metros de altura de la valla al suelo, gracias a los parterres y la celosía lateral, con lo que la espera hasta que los setos alcancen la altura de la valla se hace más agradable.

The front garden of this period Edwardian property in Acton, west London, was a large expanse of concrete hard standing, and overgrown planting. The aim of the garden design was to create a garden that combined space for off-street parking for one car, architectural soft landscaping as well as a spot in which to sit and enjoy the garden. The style of the new garden had to be sympathetic to the house and it was important that the end result was more contemporary front garden than everyday driveway. Additional screening to the neigbouring boundary wall was a key requirement, as was the need to keep an existing cherry tree.

Once bare verge is now a riot of colour with this wonderful wildflower mix.

Design ideas for a medium sized contemporary front driveway garden in Melbourne.

Our brief on this project was to create a space to relax and entertain. The site is fairly compact and enclosed on all sides by high boundary walls which makes it quite shady. The new design makes the most of the sunniest spots. The main area of the space is paved with ‘Florence White’ porcelain paving laid in stretcher pattern, with an inset path of sandstone plank paving running across the middle of the garden from the stairs. The plank paving continues up the front of the existing raised bed on the right hand side. The back wall is clad in large format porcelain cladding tiles with a Corten steel panel for contrast. Bespoke storage units constructed from Red Grand hardwood timber are tucked away under the stairs to enable the client to store outdoor cushions and other items when not in use. The right hand boundary wall behind the existing raised bed features a bespoke contemporary ‘vertical garden’, comprising a series of rectangular Corten steel planters stacked on top of each other. Each planter is at a different distance from the wall, to create a dynamic and visually arresting focal point packed full of plants to really green up the space. The planting scheme is lush and green, focusing on textured foliage and shade tolerant plants. A large Corten steel planter positioned in the left hand corner of the garden opposite the bottom of the stairs holds a specimen acer tree to add some height to the space.

En el exterior, un juego de volúmenes y materiales van creando terrazas integradas a la inclinación del terreno a modo de anfiteatro sobre el lago. En su desarrollo parecen desintegrarse según se acercan al agua y concluyen en una piscina infinita que rebosa hacia el lago.
