Our design task was to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment for the proposed buildings. The site currently has an old tree population of very valuable species. When considering the location of the buildings, it was crucial to protect the existing trees. One of the most important tasks in the design of the garden was the construction of garden paths to access the buildings. The accommodation buildings ‘face each other’, so that the spaces between each building can function well as communal spaces and gardens. Thus, these garden areas were largely paved with solid paving, while smaller, more intimate recreational spaces were created with turf paving and garden benches. In all cases, the existing tree population was taken into careful attention when paving the areas.
