Jovellanos Project

Jovellanos Project

In urbanised areas like the one in this project, gardens are not only often small, but also lack privacy. They are surrounded by other homes and gardens that block sunlight, and they are exposed to prying eyes. From the outset, it is a “hostile environment” that must be worked on in order to enjoy freshness, privacy and a feeling of spaciousness.

It is a proven fact that a 100 m² garden can have as many or more functions than a larger one, without losing aesthetic value.

The priority in this garden was to gain privacy and a sense of spaciousness. Well-planned zoning expands the garden's usability while bringing order and structure. Using a single type of paving visually enlarges the areas, and placing stepping stones over the lawn adds movement and dynamism. The design prioritises creating corners and hidden views that make the space feel larger than it really is.
The gardens of the near future will be smaller, more functional and better zoned.
