Olgiata Garden is a landscape design project created in the exclusive Olgiata neighborhood of the same name in the Municipality of Rome. The project aims to characterize the approximately three thousand square meter outdoor area of the Villa and its appurtenances with Mediterranean style and informality.
The use of bushy borders with essences of perovskya, phillyrea, lentisk and buddleja has allowed the creation of a concrete but architecturally elastic zoning, so as to blur the sub-areas and their characterization and functionality. the hardscape and pedestrian paths are generated and adapt to the curves created by the borders. Softness is the watchword of a green design that wants and must contrast and balance the clean and decisive lines of the architectural volumes.
Even at the altimetric level, the different levels of the complex are connected by soft variations of the terrain entrusted almost exclusively to large sections of English lawn that also goes to envelop the areas that remain free, delimited by the borders of Mediterranean scrub.
The swimming pool and its annexed gazebos are located to the south-west of the Villa, at a lower level than the main building, made visible from the main entrance of the house but protected by essences of Camphor and Lagerstroemia that mixed with the bushes give color and liveliness.
