The first phase of this garden renovation focuses on redefining the landscape  surrounding the house to establish the main structure and atmosphere of the  future property renovation. Designed in anticipation of the ongoing house  transformation, the master plan integrates construction access and working  areas while shaping the future gardens. 

The front garden creates a new living space oriented towards morning light and  afternoon shade, with a redesigned entrance and Mediterranean drought tolerant vegetation. The backyard combines functional and recreational spaces  including a football field / caravan parking, terraced leveling, and rocky slopes.  Large, carefully placed boulders are introduced to create a strong rock garden  character, enhancing the naturalistic Mediterranean identity of the site. All  planting is designed with low-maintenance, drought-adapted species suited to  the local climate.
