Projeto paisagístico mediterrâneo

PHASE II notes: We have selected 4 of the 17 designers who submitted for the first phase. You have a 75% chance to share the prize money for our competition. Notes have been made on each of your submissions. Please read the notes of yours plus the other 3: designers 53, 202, 231, and 503.
We only made notes on features in your designs that we liked.
For the next phase, we are looking for each of you to incorporate these 'liked' features into a final design, even if they were found in another's original design but with your own creativity.
There are several features and details that were not adequately described or submitted in phase I:
1. the trash area (see new photos added in "files" section)
2. the flora palette - key colors are lavender, yellow and white. No other flower colors please.
3. placement of garden/flora between hardscape features such as pergola, steps, fire pit, spa, water feature, 3-columns + lintel.
4. pathways connecting the key features
5. the entry to new side yard and walkway along East side of house (see new photos in 'files' section)
We are hoping for much more dialog with you in phase II via wall posts.


Phase I: We have a 3000sf yard that we would like designed as a Greco-Roman Villa might have had. The area offers a wonderful opportunity to be very creative as it leads to a wooden glen. The yard has multiple terraces, which are quite lovely to look at and we have the idea that a designer could be quite creative with them.

We love Italy and the Mediterranean countryside and since we live in a similar climate (Glendale, California), we'd like to create such an environment in the side yard of our property. The inspiration came to us after visiting the Getty Villa in Malibu. This is essentially a hardscape project. Selection of trees and other plants will be made by our local landscape contractor.
The view out to the side yard, facing east, is very pretty and we would like to preserve the view and enhance it with this project.

We would like designers to be creative, of course, but also to take into consideration our ideas. These are suggestions to guide your designs, but you are free to make other recommendations in their place. (see dropbox folder for plot plans, video of yard, photos of yard & house, and photo/images of features, colors, textures that could be incorporated into the project plan. Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0zsta2f6no3d4ml/AAD-igFoRDsb0ppxEyd0obEna?dl=0

Note that the side yard is 50ft wide running east-west, and 60ft deep running north-south (in the video I mistakenly said 60x60ft). The walkway between the yard wall on the west side to the house is 6ft across.



I'm sure that designers will think of other details that I forgot to point out or mention, so please ask for anything else you might need.
