Gardens and parks

Garden and park projects can be an extremely rewarding experience. When planning the design of a park or garden, first you need to decide on the factors that need to be considered. Aspects such as size, structure, plants and furnishings are usually involved.

Park and garden architecture provides a wide range of opportunities for landscape design. The design of their structure, as well as the set up of their features, are enjoyed by people of all ages. A well-designed park or garden can provide an attractive natural environment, inspire feelings of tranquility and serenity, offer interesting visual variety, and also offer physical challenges.

Sometimes architecture is used to emphasize landscape design while other times it is used for creative solutions that increase the visual appeal of the site. Architectural elements such as paths, stairs, bridges, stone walls and others can be combined with tall trees and ornamental shrubs in order to create a garden or park that is truly of great visual impact.

Furthermore, the materials used in the construction of the architectural elements are very important as they must be resistant to bad weather but at the same time harmonize with the overall design of the park or garden.

The private and public gardens form an extension of the interior spaces of the building. Garden design is, in its own way, a form of landscape architecture on a small scale.
