We contributed to the landscape design of a luxury multi-storey residential development conceived around a refined, low-maintenance lifestyle.

Its position near the shoreline enabled uninterrupted sea views, with each apartment incorporating generous balconies arranged in a staggered façade. This articulation created visual interest while providing substantial planting zones at every level, introducing privacy and softening the building’s mass.

The site was framed by contrasting green edges: an access passage with incidental planting alongside a staircase on one side, and a significant treed open space on the other. Existing protected tree species, understory vegetation and seasonal bulbs formed an important ecological resource. The design team worked collaboratively to safeguard these features and to strengthen the green corridors by introducing structural planters along the building’s centreline, capable of supporting trees at multiple levels.

Careful coordination of services ensured the feasibility of the elevated planting strategy during construction. Prior to excavation, a search-and-rescue exercise was carried out where sensitive plant material was salvaged and relocated, and tree canopies and root protection areas were secured with protective fencing. Existing boulders along the street frontage were retained in accordance with authority requirements, providing a natural edge that reinforced the character of the public realm.

The completed scheme integrates architecture and landscape to create a planted residential environment that balances outlook, privacy and ecological continuity.
