An existing garden must be reduced to create more space for the expansion of the dwelling. The thick bamboo hedge along with the beautiful maple tree are mantained because they are the real heritage of the small garden. The garden is the result of successive interventions and does not show a great personality. Now the characters that relate it to the residence are accentuated. The significant reduction in available space was compensated by a more dynamic design, greater energy and a wider availability of usable space. The garden conquers new spaces previously hidden and maintains a proportion that does not regret the subtracted surface. It remains that oriental air, with a greater expressive richness.
