A Fairytale Woodland by the LakeRegion of Moscow, RussiaDescription: Landscape gardenLocation: RussiaStages: Concept design to construction follow-upPeriod: 2016 - 2018Area: 6245 sq. m.Client: PrivateArchitect: Studio Alexander BrodskyProject management, engineering: ShafranLandscape contractor: Orange gardenLighting: Djao-Rakitine & ViabizzunoDR Team: Irene Djao-Rakitine, Povilas Marozas, Charles Dujardin, Hortense BlanchardThe site is located in a woodland area, to the north of Moscow. The project suggests to clear the lower part of the land to create framed views on the lake and includes a long alleyway of pine trees transplanted from the site, as well as a flowering meadow and a small orchard of apple and cherry trees.In parallel to the alleyway, a large timber path connects the main terrace of the house to the lake shore, transforming into a pontoon on the lake.The existing woodland is planted with a collection of rhododendrons, providing bright orange, pink and red colours amongst the pines and birch trees. A meandering path follows the natural topography of the land and allows for a smooth stroll amongst the woodland down to the lake.All photos by Olga Alexeyenko unless otherwise specifiedMore projects
