Garden at Nisaki

Nisaki

This contemporary garden was planted 2011-2012 and is the result of a close collaboration between the architect, Thodoris Zoumboulakis and the landscape architects Thomas Doxiadis and Dionysia Liveri of Doxiadis +.  The owners wanted a drought-resistant garden which uses native plants and an area which has a more tropical feel. This has led to the creation of a garden which has a strong structure provided by the architecture and the use of many evergreen plants. It is a garden of contrasts between mediterranean and tropical; manicured and more natural plants; the rough textures of natural stone the smoother textures of the engineered stone; the use of many evergreen plants with areas of vibrant colour. The garden has a timeless and calm atmosphere over-looking Corfu town in the distance.
