Office notes
Four notes on the work that happens before anything is planted: soil, drainage, structural weight, planter material and species selection. Written by the Giallery office, for a space that has to last years.
- 04Why green-space design is a necessity for cafésA café is a space people stay in. A green wall and a flowerbox do more than get photographed: they add acoustic mass, and species such as sansevieria, pothos and ficus filter the interior air. The question is not decoration; it is how long people stay.
- 03Where does landscape design start? The principles of villa landscapingStart with north, not with a plant. Sun path, prevailing wind, the soil already there and the trees already standing are measured before any species is chosen. The principles of villa landscaping are the order of the four phases.
- 02A complete guide to choosing the right planter, indoors and outA planter is not a container; it is an insulating layer. Shell material, wall thickness and soil volume decide whether a root takes thermal shock through a Tehran summer and winter — and on a roof, the planter's own weight is part of the structural load.
- 01Professional landscaping: the link between architecture, nature and human experienceProfessional landscaping starts before anything is planted: soil, fall, drainage, access routes and structural capacity. What goes onto paper in Phase 0 and Phase 1 decides what your outdoor space looks like five years later.
