In the Casa Parque residential project, the plant compositions are designed as a continuous and integrated atmosphere throughout the garden, strengthening the relationship between landscape and architecture. The gardens foster spaces for socializing, lingering, and contemplation, creating welcoming and sensory environments. The edible garden/vegetable patch incorporates productive species into the landscaping, encouraging the cultivation of PANCs – Unconventional Food Plants, as named by biologist Valdely Kinupp. The proposed positioning and species of trees were carefully considered to reduce visual permeability into the first-floor bedrooms, thereby increasing privacy, regardless of the street's existing slope. Additionally, planting was proposed for the sidewalks outside the residence, creating a diverse view of species around the entire property.
