The initial task was to develope a landscape design for the Matsu property and to propose a watering system for the garden for the period when the family is away for an extended time. The project site is located within Lahemaa National Park. The site tends to be quite dry on hot summer days and has poorer soil conditions.
The existing buildings on the site are to be renovated, and one of the goals was to create a solution that integrates with a new architectural design. There was also a desire to include a barrel sauna area with a terrace, organize the fruit tree garden, establish a designated vegetable garden area, and create a fire pit for larger gatherings.
Since the site is exposed to abundant sunlight, species that fit within the protected heritage area, tolerate poorer growing conditions, and can quickly reach their full height while also providing aesthetic appeal were selected for shading and landscape design.
First, the woody plants survey was conducted and the project was prepared at the concept design level.
