Project Description

The site is located in a woodland area, to the north of Moscow. The project suggests to clear the lower part of the land to create framed views on the lake and includes a long alleyway of pine trees transplanted from the site, as well as a flowering meadow and a small orchard of apple and cherry trees.
In parallel to the alleyway, a large timber path connects the main terrace of the house to the lake shore, transforming into a pontoon when reaching the lake.
The existing woodland is planted with a collection of rhododendrons, providing bright orange, pink and red colours amongst the pines and birch trees. A meandering path follows the natural topography of the land and allows for a smooth stroll amongst the woodland down to the lake.
