Let's try to define design from the point of view of practical examples. The environment that we create around ourselves has certain tasks: it should calm, inspire, create positive emotions. Each person is unique and has their own idea of beauty.
When first communicating with a client, you need to understand what their preferences are, what they like and what does not cause any special emotions. Wildlife and the world of plants are liked by everyone. That is why, for example, building ponds in summer cottages has become so popular lately. And tying all this to a certain area, choosing plants and planting them in certain compositions is already a matter of design.
First of all, you need to come up with an idea. To do this, you need to wander around the area, feel the space and then string one element after another. I prefer a pencil and a sheet of paper. Finding an idea is sometimes not an easy task. The fact is that this is a whole complex of interconnected processes.
Sketches allow you to speak more accurately with the client. Well, the most important thing in the landscape is the plants and the process of survival. When you worry about every epic on the site, you rejoice when the growth dynamics begin. It is very important to hand over your creation to reliable hands.
The distance in our work is quite long, from three to seven years. And all this time we plant something, transplant something, form, supplement. If the customer's understanding, his idea of design coincide with yours, the world in which the client himself immerses himself satisfies him, the work goes like clockwork.
An example of remodeling the entrance to the house.
Initially, there were ideas about using a free niche, to make it antique, some ruins, then there was an idea to plant bamboo, but it grows quickly, and there is limited space there. And when the right material came to hand, the decision was made in favor of slow-growing succulents, because the climatic conditions are suitable. This is what came out of it.
As a rule, we take the main subjects from the nature around us. Here is an example near the gazebo. The idea is to create the most natural landscape around the gazebo. The photos show the place where we found the stones and what came out of it.
