In a quiet residential area of Premià de Dalt, this Mediterranean garden opens toward the horizon, offering unobstructed views of the sea and the Catalan coast. Designed with a sustainable and aesthetic focus, it features native, drought-resistant plants, such as lavender, rosemary, santolina, and olive trees, which provide color, texture, and aroma year-round. The absence of grass reinforces the authentic character of the space, which is organized through gravel paths and defined flowerbeds that facilitate movement and visual enjoyment of the natural surroundings. Strategically placed benches allow you to contemplate the seascape in an atmosphere of calm, serenity, and absolute privacy. Low natural stone walls and restrained furniture complete this composition, which prioritizes harmony with the residential environment and a direct connection with Mediterranean nature and the fresh, relaxing sea breeze, creating an ideal space for rest and leisurely contemplation.
We are inspired by the Mediterranean macchia which is a dense, evergreen shrubland found in coastal regions with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It consists of hardy plants like myrtle, rosemary, arbutus, and wild olive, adapted to drought and fire. Aromatic herbs and tough, leathery leaves are typical features. Despite its rugged look, the macchia is rich in biodiversity and provides vital habitat for many species.
Lavender is a plant closely associated with the Mediterranean region, where it naturally thrives in sunny, dry conditions and rocky, well-drained soils. It is commonly found on hillsides and open fields, adding color and fragrance to the landscape.
The plant’s resilience to drought and poor soil makes it ideal for the Mediterranean climate. We chose to incorporate it in this garden due to its pleasant scent, and ability to attract pollinators while requiring minimal maintenance.
This garden features a set of stairs that connects the street to the entrance of the house. On the left side of the stairs, there is a variety of vegetation that adds greenery and structure to the space. Plants like the forementioned lavender, rosemary, and small shrubs are used to create a low-maintenance, attractive border. The layout is functional and clean, guiding visitors up to the house while making good use of the slope and available planting area.
The living-room is defined on one side by a large floor-to-ceiling window that creates a strong visual connection between indoors and outdoors. The expansive glass surface allows natural light to flood the space, highlighting the minimalist decor. A wooden bench and floor lamp sit nearby, enhancing the clean, natural aesthetic. Outside, an elevated garden bed filled with lush greenery and ornamental grasses adds texture and color. The overall design emphasizes openness, calm, and the seamless integration of architecture with nature.
The chillout features a sunken wooden seating area integrated into a modern terrace. Surrounded by warm-toned wood paneling, the design offers a cozy yet contemporary feel. The open terrace above extends toward a metal railing, providing unobstructed views of the lush, tree-filled landscape. Pale stone flooring adds brightness and contrast to the natural materials. The layout encourages relaxation and social gatherings while blending seamlessly with the surrounding greenery and open sky, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere.
This close-up shows a mix of plants with strong color contrast. The dark red Aeonium stands out against the grey-green lamb’s ear and the purple flowers of lavender. The combination creates a visually rich but low-maintenance planting. In the background, the textured trunk of an olive tree adds structure and a Mediterranean feel. The dense planting highlights the contrast in colors,forms, and textures.
Surrounding the chair is a delicate fringe of soft lavender flowers, adding a touch of gentle color and fragrance. Behind the lavender, tall grasses sway naturally, creating a serene and peaceful backdrop that blends well with the chair’s cozy presence. The overall scene evokes a sense of tranquility, perfect for unwinding and enjoying quiet moments in nature’s gentle embrace.
