A scheme represents the strategy; the current situation and the project one. Today: a longitudinal relationship between the waterfront and the lake; tomorrow: the lake and the lakeside promenade are connected by a transversal connection

Como, Italy, 2009
The world famous Como waterfront has been designed as a new contemporary garden, an opportunity for citizens to experience nature from an aesthetic and emotional point of view. From the city, our eyes are free to roam until the horizon, following the curves of the garden’s elements. A rhythm set by the progressive use of materials, measures, and shapes that are different one from the other, and which distinguishes both the architectural and the garden projects, bringing that complexity typical of a mansion’s garden to the scale of a whole city.
