这座花园位于圣保罗，一个令人眼花缭乱、多元文化的大都市，然而却缺少绿地，这座花园作为一个入口，进入了一座曾经的回廊建筑，变成了一个活动场所。
Located in São Paulo, a dazzling and multicultural megalopolis, yet so lacking in green spaces, this garden serves as an entrance to a former ambulatory building turned into a venue for events.
占地面积约为450平方米，是一个互动和沉思花园的舞台，旨在刺激人们进入后的感官空间。那个游客在光滑的金属凉棚上方有一条隧道，一边是一个郁郁葱葱的垂直花园，主要由本地热带植物组成，另一边是一个轻快的太阳光，让人第一眼看到花园。这条隧道，故意以微妙的自然光入射，给人一种神秘的气氛和期待的结束，在那里整个空间将被揭示供沉思。
The terrain, with an approximate area of 450m², is a stage to an interactive and contemplative garden, meant to stimulate the senses once one enters the space.The visitor is welcomed by a tunnel, above a sleek metallic pergola, on one side a lush vertical garden comprised mainly by native tropical plants and on the other side a brise soleil revealing a first glance to the garden. This tunnel, purposely with a subtle incidence of natural light, gives a mysterious atmosphere and expectative to its end, where the whole space will be revealed for contemplation.
在花园的中心，有一个巨大的反射池，上面铺着由陶瓷废料制成的黑色鹅卵石，这是与制造商为本项目专门开发的。浮动台阶邀请游客近距离观察反射池中央的花园“岛屿”，以及一个生态壁炉。
At the center of garden, there is an extensive reflecting pool, layed with black pebbles that were made from ceramic waste, specially developed for this project with the manufacturer . Floating steps invites the visitor to give a closer look to the garden "islands" in the middle of the reflecting pool, as well as an ecological fireplace.
从另一个角度看，这座花园提出了一个休息的地方，长凳上铺着瓷砖，这个地方提供了一个舒缓的放松氛围。地板瓷砖采用自动清洗技术，由于维护费用低，避免使用天然石材。
On the other perspective, the garden proposes a resting spot with benches layed with porcelain tiles, a spot that provides a soothing atmosphere for relaxation. The flooring porcelain tiles have an auto cleaning technology and they were used for its low maintenance and to avoid the use of natural stone.
巴西是唯一一个以一棵树命名的国家，令人惊讶的是，许多居民都不知道这棵树的名字，因此该项目通过将它们与周围现有的树冠和谐地种植，来恰当地纪念这棵标志性的树。不用说，它们是在当地的苗圃里种植的，我们的目的是向游客说明如何使用和欣赏巴西本土树木，而这些树木往往被忽视。
Brazil is the only country named after a tree, surprisingly unknown to many of its residents, so the project properly honors this iconic tree, by planting them in harmony with the surrounding existing canopy. Needless to say they were locally grown in nurseries, and our intention was to elucidate the visitor to use and admire Brazilian native trees, so often overlooked.
所有的灌木丛和地被植物都是当地种植的，因为它们能适应当地的气候，所以耗水量很低。雨水用于灌溉和反射池，LED照明提供低能耗。
All bushes and groundcovers, also grown locally, are low water consuming since they’re adaptable to the local climate. Rainwater is used for irrigation and for the reflecting pool, and LED lighting provides low energy consumption.
