Description:
Along Via Bolognese, in the hills around Florence, a fully renovated private villa is surrounded by an extensive park where the formal garden meets a contemporary design language. The overall restoration project, directed by Studio Sertec of Florence, included a landscape scheme for the park by architect Maria Chiara Pozzana, who reinterprets the principles of the Italian garden through aromatic plants and ornamental grasses. A rigorous axis connects the main building to the pool, creating perspectives that organise and relate the outdoor spaces.
The property unfolds as a sequence of themed areas: olive grove, vegetable garden, orchard, rose garden and herb garden, together forming a landscape in which aesthetic value and function coexist. Alongside the planting works, begun in 2024, we also delivered other elements that complete the garden: corten-steel edging, gravel paving, timber retaining structures and pergolas. The works also include irrigation and lighting systems, the pool and its plant room, and the mosquito misting system. The result is a harmonious alternation of colours and forms arranged along an axis characteristic of formal gardens.
