Outdoor spaces — An invitation to contemplation
EscalquensIndividual housesNovember 2025
PROJECT INFORMATION
A landscape project extending the existing architecture through a dialogue between geometric rigour and poetic forms. A pool house, a swimming lane and redesigned access to the home turn the garden into a sanctuary of calm.
An outdoor composition balancing taut lines and organic curves:
Conceived as an independent space, the project offers a new interpretation of the outdoors, both functional and poetic.
The threshold connects two worlds: formal rigour outside and flowing curves within. The circle, the project’s central figure, conveys softness and unity, surrounding users with a calm atmosphere.
Water becomes the guiding thread, linking built elements to planting and encouraging contemplation.
