Technical information

Very important aspect of the project was appropriate fitting in existing terrain. I was looking for solution to take advantage of it rather than interfer in it and make it level.

Slight slopes that were previously overgrown and neglected became colorful flourishing meadow or are natural green stands where everyone can sit or lie on it.

Whole project contributes to sustainable growth with sollutions like:
-water retention system
-increasing amount of trees and biologically-active surface
-new native plantings, meadows that are easy to maintain
-Birches get toxins out of the soil (poindustrail area where the coal was storaged)
-Materials used for small architecture are local.
