JARDÍN "PUNTA NOGALES"

HZarquitectos

Este Proyecto responde a la solicitud de nuestros clientes para cambiar un jardín percibido como un espacio encerrado por la fuerte presencia del muro perimetral y, a la vez, expuesto por la falta de privacidad producto de las visuales directas de los vecinos más cercanos. Para esto nos contrataron para hacer el diseño el cual se plasmó en planos y una imagen fotorrealista/3D que permitió mostrar a los clientes el "antes" y "después" de su jardín. Una vez aprobado el diseño se presentó el presupuesto de ejecución y, una vez aprobado, se comenzaron los trabajos de obra con una duración total de 2 semanas, comenzando con las bases/fundaciones de los bastidores de madera los cuales fueron sin duda los protagonistas de fondo. Este Jardín fue diseñado con la premisa de ser un espacio dual: contemplativo/de relajación y lúdico al dejar un espacio libre y flexible listo para ser disfrutado por los niños de la casa. Los bastidores de madera se propusieron como una solución tanto estética como funcional al bloquear las visuales de las viviendas vecinas otorgando la privacidad deseada. El uso de bambúes y la conservación de los laureles en flor existentes ayudan a desdibujar el muro perimetral existente. El enfoque particular en una esquina se logró con la propuesta de un arreglo con fuente, cuarzo blanco, flores e iluminación que, junto a una banca de madera, definen ese espacio especial y acogedor dentro del nuevo jardín.

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
