The project of Franck Serra - Coulounieix-Chamiers (24)

Human & Sensual

Today we are all seeking sense, pleasure and a way to get back to nature. A garden for lovers of (the good things in) life must be environmentally-friendly and a place in which one feels good. We propose a virtuous and sustainable garden in harmony with nature. The garden will be made up of components under our feet, with permeable, natural, fertile and nourishing soils: quite simply alive.

Biodiversity will be symbolised by a canopy, an architectural arch inviting you to discover a space for Gracious Living and a seat at a shared “table” to promote friendliness, bathed in and fed by the nourishing theatre symbolising food springing from Mother Earth. The wellbeing garden is structured around the water table, symbolising life. Organic relaxation cocoons will welcome visitors in a luxuriant, benevolent and natural forest.

What makes your garden a garden for lovers of (the good things in) life?

Our garden is for lovers of (the good things in) life because it unites the abundance of a kitchen garden and the sharing of the produce with guests around big tables. A togetherness space we all want.

A garden for lovers of (the good things in) life because it is eco-friendly by the choice of the materials and plants and the way it is built.

A garden for lovers of (the good things in) life because it demonstrates that creativity can be combined with the urban greening and the wellbeing of all.

A garden for lovers of (the good things in) lifebecause it is alive. The whole garden respects the living world and creates friendly surroundings for people who like to live well. Laid out around a Gracious Living space and a Wellbeing space, the whole garden is a response to mankind’s quest for sense and direction.
