RESIDENCE BUZAYEHU LANDSCAPE

While working as the client architect in E.A.P in their real estate development office, the Owner of
the company Ato Buzuayehu was also in the finishing stage of his eloquent villa and was staring the
landscaping phase of the property. My services here were to design a master plan layout and plantings plan and detail all landscape elements. On the northern right corner, the client wished to have an outdoor bar with a semi-shaded pergola. This was to act as a kitchen and barbecue area directly facing the dining room part of the villa. In the center, the client wished to have a roundabout to have a grandiose entrance to the villa.
Knowing the client is frequently visited by established business owners, politicians, and leaders
of various industries, the drop-off area to the villa had to be one of a kind. I proposed a whirl fountain to be constructed. A fountain that jets out water but drips on the surface in a circular manner.
On the other hand on the west side of the house, there is basement access to the service quarters,
requiring to use steps between the five meters elevation change. To continue a seamless surface of the garden, I designed a green roof-like bridge with railings to hide the interruption of the topography. Moreover, the planting plan selection intends to use as many native trees and shrubs as possible and
avoids any redundant trees that are widely used in the market. Lastly, my duties also included creating a concept for the roof top terrace on the third floor, which is a space that has direct access to the client's private quarters. The terrace faces the gym, office, and bedroom areas of the building and needed to be a place to repose and invite intimate friends and family members. I furnished a plan with furniture selection, floor surface finish, and suitable potted plants.
