What was the challenge?

Located in Patagonia, Argentina, the site originally had few plants and lacked a cohesive design strategy. The goal was to create a large, engaging space that would break the symmetry of the existing construction and introduce a sense of movement and natural flow.

What was the idea?

The design sought to maintain an intentional asymmetry, allowing the garden to feel dynamic and organic. Planting was carefully planned with a palette of colors and shapes that cross the horizontal plane, creating visual interest throughout the year. The strategy included layering herbaceous plants, grasses, perennials, and deciduous species to ensure seasonal variation in color and texture. Shrubs were positioned to add volume, contrast with the dark background, and improve views from entrances and circulation paths.

How was it executed?

• 240 plants installed across the site

• 24 wooden containment beds forming small canters

• Design interventions included:

  • Cantero: Herbaceous and grass design combined with perennials and deciduous plants for seasonal color and year-round volume

  • Lateral: Shrubs added for volume and contrast with the dark backdrop

  • Frente: Created privacy between the two houses and designed circulation paths revealing the garden progressively

  • Other Lateral: Enhanced the entrance visual with larger species breaking symmetry

What was achieved?

The project transformed a sparse, unordered space into a dynamic, immersive garden that balances privacy, movement, and visual richness. It encourages exploration through asymmetrical pathways while maintaining cohesion through strategic color and plant selection.
