Our customers in this field are this sector's operators, either private companies or public authorities. They require planning and construction works direction of urban parks' renewal interventions. We pay a particular attention to the choice of plants and of the types of turf that will better fit into the contest, when planning urban and extra-urban parks, gardens and landscape. We also take into account their use and functionality in order to obtain low maintenance, but highly qualitative, areas.
Some Examples:
Vicenza, Fornaci Park:
this project had its start from a series of the town's western part renovation hypothesis, aiming to realize a sequence of natural spaces as a communication channel between town and countryside. Fornaci Park develops on a 30 000-square meter area and is the first one among these interventions. The Park has been subdivided into three fundamental parts, planned to exploit this area's previously existent conditions: the "quiet" garden (a place where children can play freely and adults can meet); the wood of discoveries (where you can still find the old spontaneous vegetation setting existent when furnaces were no longer used). Finally, there is the wide play field, located between the two parallel paths lying in the east-west direction: this is the part mostly involved in what we call the "movement".
"Parcocittà", Vicenza: this is a huge open field area, directly bound to a site built up with blocks, where about 800-1000 inhabitants live, mostly young people with their children. Our idea is that this area should be transformed into a park, not a simple garden, and should continue to keep its connections with the neighbourhood of San Francesco and the rest of the town. For this purpose the core elements of the entire project are morphology, the park uses and functions and the whole landscape's system.
Viest Hotel: this is located near the A4 - motorway exit "Vicenza Est",, realized in 1999. We have planned the park and the parking lots around the hotel building. Regarding the turfed parking lots, we have proceeded as follows: a 10 cm layer of draining lapillus has been used, overlapped with a 20 cm layer of siliceous-volcanic sands. After the compressing and nutrition we have layed the turf down (Festuca arundinacea + Poa pratensis) and cultivated it on a permeable substrate. The construction of the parking lot has been completed with the setting of a GEOFLOR grid.
