Heerdt is one of the oldest districts of the city of Düsseldorf, where a strong presence of the St. Benediktus Church is seen, which is directly opposite the project site.The garden project includes a planted courtyard and a garden terrace. It aims at creating a healthy and well-being environment for users and enhancing local biodiversity.The courtyard offers places to work and meet. The different spaces are defined by planted areas, hedges and a series of carpets designed by the layout of the cobbles, sawn or not, with grass or sealed joints. The central open space allows access to adjacent car parking spaces but also acts as a place for receptions.
Large and densely planted areas provide shade and freshness to users and refuge for biodiversity. A collection of climbers is planted along the facades.The garden terrace is composed of three spaces of different sizes for different uses: group or solitary work, meditation, etc. These rooms are defined by planted areas on the edges of the terrace, a fountain offers freshness and sound atmosphere to the space. The terrace also offers views of the courtyard and the bell tower of the neighboring church.More projects
