Balcony Over the Mediterranean Project

Project Development – Balcony Over the Mediterranean

This landscaping project was born from the dialogue between the dramatic coastal terrain and the calmness of the Mediterranean Sea. Located directly on the seafront, with access to a small secluded beach, the main objective was to transform a plot with a very steep slope into a functional, welcoming garden fully integrated into its Mediterranean surroundings.

One of the main challenges of the project was precisely the site's topography. In order to adapt the land without disrupting the natural character of the landscape, a system of stepped terraces was created using retaining walls built with local stone. This solution makes it possible to create different usable levels while maintaining a harmonious appearance that blends naturally with the setting surrounding the property.

The design seeks to create a seamless transition between the house and the coastal ecosystem. The different terraces are integrated into the slope, respecting the scale of the surrounding landscape while preserving uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean. Stone, vegetation and open spaces are combined to ensure that the intervention becomes part of the landscape rather than competing with it.

On the main terrace, directly adjacent to the house, a large, completely level lawn has been created. This green meadow brings freshness and softness to the overall design, creating a striking contrast with the stone and the deep blue of the sea. In addition to its aesthetic value, it provides a versatile area for relaxation, contemplation and enjoying the outdoor surroundings.

The result is a Mediterranean garden designed to coexist with an exceptional natural setting: a space where architecture, landscaping and nature connect seamlessly, transforming the challenges of the terrain into one of the project's defining features.
