The development of FOZ NATURE is based on a simple idea: living in nature. This concept fosters a total connection between the natural and built environments. Landscaping, building materials and interior design are developed together, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside. The experience of natural living is defined.
The profound articulation between architecture and landscape is the foundation of the Foz Nature concept. Landscape architecture supports and encourages fluid spatial organization. The privacy of domestic spaces is preserved and pedestrian access is improved. Colors, shadows and aromas create a distinctive and attractive environment.
The design process begins with an analysis of the site and its natural and built features. Climatic analysis, in particular sun exposure and prevailing winds, consolidates this research. The guiding principles, spatial typologies and selection of species that materialize the solution are established.
