Private Garden
Ortelle (LE), Italy, 2013
Client: Private
With: Domenico De Liguori
Surface: 150sm
The concept of this garden is to create a space that evolves over time, highlighting seasonal changes while offering intimate alcoves dedicated to specific activities such as reading, relaxation, and meditation. A single pathway—crafted from recycled ceramic tiles typical of the local tradition—organizes the space, at times climbing the walls, as in the case of the small fountain and the barbecue.
The main furnishings are built from local pietra leccese stone. The pathway folds back on itself, delineating portions of ground where selected plant species are placed according to orientation and intended use. Subtle alignments, revealed through the perspective of the colorful path, establish visual connections between distant parts of the garden: a vibrant trace inscribed within a white, minimal environment.
