Torreblanca Aromatic Park
Torrevieja (Alicante), Spain
The park is located on a large marginal plot, a leftover site from the uncontrolled growth of Torrevieja. The significant difference in height on both sides posed a challenge for the construction process.
The project replants the hillsides with pine trees through which small paths lead down to the lower level. It is at this height that the paths are interwoven forming areas with circular parterres and aromatic plants. From time to time, one circle or another acquires volume and becomes an ombrière in which a metallic structure supports the climbing plants to give shade.
We have turned our garden into a concentration of fragrances into which visitors dive as they descend…
