The project’s objective was to create a green square for the neighbourhood of Borgo ai Fossi, located in the industrial outskirts of Scandicci. The existing constraints guided the arrangement of the various functions: a road that crosses the village opens into a large open square; a canopy of trees along two sides shelters a parking lot and vegetable garden; and a wall at the back serves as the backdrop for a children’s play area in the most protected zone. The design of the garden begins with these larger areas and breaks down into a geometric design, creating flower beds, paths and more intimate seating areas.
