URBAN MICRO-GREENING


2024

garden design

area ca 25 m2

This balcony project explores how small private outdoor spaces in dense cities can become atmospheric, ecologically active, and seasonally responsive.

Using mostly perennial plants and reused materials, I developed a design that prioritizes microclimate, biodiversity, and spatial experience. The balcony functions as a living extension of the apartment—offering shade, scent, structure, and softness throughout the year.

As an ongoing experiment, it changes with the seasons: plants bloom, fade, and reappear in new constellations.

The project advocates for climate-sensitive design at the domestic scale, and reflects how even small-scale, personal spatial interventions can contribute to a more livable, resilient urban environment. It suggests that quality of life and ecological awareness begin with the immediate spaces we shape around ourselves.
