Geuchmann garden, Odessa (Ukr)
Geuchmann garden, Odessa (Ukr) JSA / www.jsa-rotterdam.nl Geuchmann garden, Odessa (Ukr) Garden design At the invitation of Oleg Drozdov, a Ukrainian architect, JSA designed the garden for Artur Geuchmann’s house in Odessa. Like the nearby garden of Oleg Mikhailenko, this site has a phenomenal view of the Black Sea. Not only is the view extraordinary, but the house itself has exceptional character, thanks to its zigzag floor plan and the expressive shape of its roof. The design and location of the house, along with the wishes of the architect and client, provided the main design parameters for the garden. The central component of the plan is the pattern of lines between the patio and the swimming pool, some parallel and some diverging. The parallel lines accentuate the horizon. Because the paving is allowed to fan out on one side, the garden is naturally divided into one section associated with the main residence and another associated with the guest house. Between the paved paths, the design proposes a mixture of trees, shrubs, perennials and ornamental grasses. The garden thus offers not only a breathtaking view, but also a cool place for seclusion and repose. The colour palette for the materials and plants is based on blue and grey tones, but also leaves room for frivolous accents and plants with highly unusual shapes. Together, the vegetation and the architectural materials create the desired atmosphere. The tone is set by the Salix sepulcralis chrysocoma, or golden weeping willow, beside the pool.
