The landscape architect shapes the terrain and the space around a pre-existing construction or a developing urban or regional project.

The respect for seaside topography has led to such architectural solutions as raising a house on pillars, widening openings to the utmost in areas lacking in sunlight, or closing off the house to protect it from strong winds. What dominates is a fragmented composition that creates a multitude of volumes and exterior spaces, achieving a better relationship with the exterior but also helping to make the project`s...
