Guaiuba Garden (2022-under construction)

Private Garden, Landscape Architecture and Masterplan
+ COR Arquitetura and José Tabacow
Imbituba, Brazil



    

Masterplan and landscape design for a large residential property. The plan comprised the definition of accesses, paths and facilities, connected by a rhombus grid and hexagonal floors of 1m x 1m and 90cm x 90cm. The soft layout dissolves between the clearings, large vegetation masses and the Imaruí Lagoon landscape, generating an interaction between the new and the existing building (chalet), and the placement of stables, leisure and prayer facilities.

The grid and the variation between the hexagonal pieces and natural stone enclosures, enable asymmetric axes, soft transitions and low hierarchy between the paths. The vegetation is distributed irregularly on the natural ground level, and in a geometric, rigid compositions, in large gardens elevated from 15 to 60 cm from the ground, depending on the unevenness. The elevated gardens on reinforced concrete walls delimit areas for resting, eating and walking.
