The landscape renovation project of the Rodina park Hotel stands as a refined example of stylistic integration — of Stalinist Empire, Eastern allusions, and Moorish tradition. Overlooking the Black Sea, the park is composed of several picturesque zones, where the rigour and symmetry of a formal garden subtly dissolve into naturalistic forms. Principal axes are framed by towering cypress trees, evoking classical colonnades, while flowering shrubs and decorative bosquets lend seasonal dynamic.
A distinct area of repose has been conceived as an homage to the Alhambra: two delicate pavilions and bathing pools adorned with Eastern-style arcades form a serene retreat. The pools are edged with mosaic borders in a nod to Andalusian motifs, while nearby, a clipped shrubbery labyrinth invites playful exploration for both children and adults.
Traces of Eastern influence permeate not only the ornamental structures and sinuous pathways, but also the very choreography of the planting. Shaded alleys create an atmosphere of seclusion — a landscape designed as much for reflection as for delight.
Realized 2011.
