The concept of a secret garden is an alluring feature for urban spaces, especially since there is usually a big shortage of green spaces. In Mexico City, local firm CPDA Arquitectos developed a lush, secluded courtyard, enveloped in the stone-clad exterior of the residential building the green space serves.
The project is called Casa Jardin Escandón and it is located in Mexico City. For the aesthetic of the building, the architects relied on a contemporary approach, with Art Deco sensibilities. The secret garden, which is not visible from the street, spans 2,300 square meters. Residents can enjoy the lush experience thanks to a pathway that “winds through the outdoor space.” When observed from above, the secret garden boasts a narrow and elongated rectangular shape, while the pathway playfully zigzags, adding an interesting design element.
