The V17 office building is the distinctive entrance building of the Váci road office axis, with open transparent building blocks. The garden design intended to fit in with the style and function of the new building, while creating an exciting and multifunctional garden space. The firewalls bordering the garden were covered with taller plants, and valuable green areas were created above the basement slab. For those looking out from the upper floors of the building, the green area provides a valued visual experience. The garden, due to the character of the building, is open to the public spaces, so the inner garden also has a public function.
The most characteristic element is the continuous monolithic concrete retaining wall of varying height, which has the function of separating, bordering and dividing spaces. Behind it, beneath large canopy trees, geometrically arranged ground-covering shrub patches with perennial patches were planted. In the public space on Váci road, in 40cm soil-filled planting trenches, we designed low plants that tolerate the bad conditions, with plant patches similar in form to the ground floor garden.
