Garden on Zelengaj

On the slopes of Zelengaj, where the city meets the natural and cultural landscape, a garden has been shaped as an extension of space and history. The foundation of the design lies in respecting the local morphology. The slope has been articulated under safety requirements, yet retains its spatial logic and becomes the primary narrative line of the garden. In the front garden zone, the street axis has been preserved, and elements are planned that naturally connect the private and public space.

Special attention was given to restoring plants damaged during construction—a birch (Betula pendula) was returned to its original location, and alongside it, species were carefully selected to form layered vegetation. Evergreen species define the edges and boundaries of the garden, ensuring privacy and a cohesive green framework.

This garden is not designed to dominate but to invite presence and thoughtful movement. In dialogue with the Zelengaj landscape, it becomes a space of everyday life, a place where plant material conveys the site’s story and creates a link between the past, present, and future.
