/IDEIA&CONCEPT

The garden design theme was carefully craed to reflect the client'spreferences,drawinginspiraonfromtheirlifestyleand habits Specifically, it evokes the ambiance of the Mediterranean, reminiscent of the client's coastal hometown in Italy To achieve this, a curated selecon of materials, decorave elements, and plants evoking their origins was meculouslychosen.Theamplesunlightinthedesignatedarea enabled the creaon of an Italian Mediterranean-style garden in Ireland. The overarching goal is to culvate a garden space thatfeelsairy,natural,andinharmonywithitssurroundings.

A path of natural bluestone stones with a rusc cut in the middle of the natural lawn leads us to the back of the garden where there is a space dedicated to relaxaon and conversaon with friends over a late aernoon wine around a brazier, a very common habit in the southern regions of Italy, in addion to the use of natural stones for floors and walls,somethingweseealotinthatregion.

To the le of the passage along this path, there is now a fountain where there used to be an exisng weel, made of concrete in loco, which when turned on brings a delicious noise of water to remember the seaside coast. The second exisng tree is now framed by a wooden composed bench with the same language as the deck, serving as support to receive some more friends or even members of the children of the family to have fun.

/IDEA&CONCEPT

In craing this garden, careful consideraon was given to the principles of wildlife conservaon and biodiversity to ensure that the design fulfills these needs while maintaining an elegant, contemporary, and lowmaintenanceambiance.

As Hancock suggests, biodiversity encompasses the myriad forms of life present in an area, encompassing animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Each of these components intricately interconnects withinecosystems,formingadelicatebalancecrucialforsustaininglife.

In alignment with this ethos, the decision was made to remove the majority of the exisng tarmac flooring, liberang space for lush lawns and verdant plants Two disnct entrances were created one for pedestrian and another for vehicles—with the asphalt flooring reserved solely for the car passage leading to the garage. This strategic choice not onlyconservesresourcesbutalsostreamlinescosts.

For pedestrian access, a wooden pathway gracefully guides visitors to the main entrance of the house, meandering past pergolas adorned with climbing plants. These pergolas not only serve as structural supports but also offer a tranquil vantage point from which to admire the garden's beautyandbiodiversity

Access to the rear of the house offers three inving pathways: one leads through the conservatory onto a charming wooden deck adorned with diningfurniture;anotherroutewindsthroughthegaragepassage,whilea thirdoponguidesguestsalongsteppingstonestoatranquilcirculararea embraced by a pea gravel floor Here, nestled amidst comfortable seang andawelcomingfirepit,visitorscanunwindamidstthenaturalbeauty

Following the stepping stones further unveils the garden's untamed heart, where life flourishes with the nurturing touch of nature. A solarpowered water fountain beckons birds and bees, offering them respite and a place to call home within the carefully craed birdhouse Connecng the wooden deck to other parts of the garden's rear is a walkable lawn intenonally le untrimmed, embracing a naturalisc aesthec.Thisdeliberatelaissez-faireapproachextendstothefrontlawn, fosteringacohesivestylethroughout.

From the front windows, aenon is immediately drawn to horizontal pergolas adorned with the capvang Lonicera periclymenum (Nave Honeysuckle), their yellow/white blossoms and sweet fragrance creang vercal focal points within the garden. At the garden's rear, a majesc Fagus sylvaca (Beech) tree commands aenon, parcularly in autumn when its golden-brown foliage casts a mesmerizing spell visible from everycornerofthegarden.
