I am sharing from V2com newsletter the projects which I consider more relevant in hardscape-landscape design.
The first picture, see how interesting the abstract design and color as a center of interest in the middle of the forest. The "doors" are inviting to walk around, some open, some shut, creating a sort of "labyrinth".
The next one, it is a great idea of the deconstruction of a children's house. I have seen so many of them installed in backyards, standard children's houses just bought and installed like objects. This is quite different.
The striking blue and the geometry in three dimension must trigger creative ideas in children who play with it and recreate the "house" as an abstract concept.
It is important to note the organic geometry of the planters and path around the regular Euclidean of the house. The windows on the ground, as planters, are such an intelligent solution.

This last one, I like the geometric design of the ground and paths, the green around, the overall colors. The mix with the organicism and Euclidean geometry. The different heights in 3D.
