A garden with modern architectural design that treads on classical design influences. The conception of the design concept was based on the Mediterranean landscape and more specifically on the Greek countryside.The placement of endemic plants of the Greek countryside in the urban landscape of the city of Athens was a difficult undertaking which had to look very harmonious with the building piece.During the design, issues such as the privacy of the building, its highlighting and the addition of an impressive result that is consistent with the tension of the architectural design of the present and the future were taken very seriously to be processed and resolved.Also technical issues such as a drainage system, insulation and rational use of irrigation water were put on the design table and gave the project a green identity with a small footprint on the environment.The creation of a garden with the stamp of Greenplus and also of Marios Grogos has as a final result natural gardens with many alternations of colors, staggered plantings and the use of many aromatic plants of the Greek flora.The use of cypress trees for the privacy of the space gives the building lines a balance with the garden, the planting of many citrus trees gives the feeling of a classic Mediterranean landscape and the use of many aromatic plants gives the magic of nature.The final result testifies to the careful design work of Marios Grogos and the methodical and professional construction approach of the Greenplus company.
