The Green Golf Residence is located in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo. The landscape design for the residence created a welcoming and vibrant garden featuring organic shapes and tropical vegetation that enhance the clean, rectilinear geometry of the architecture. The project also includes the design of a recreational area featuring a swimming pool and a sand court.

Every detail intends to transform the viewer’s perception — while entering through the main entrance, walking through the woodland garden or contemplating the pool where nature and architecture meet in perfect harmony. One of the guiding principles of the project was to transform the open areas of the site into places of relief and reinforcing the imposing character of the architecture.
The entire composition was structured around the contrast between denser masses of vegetation and empty areas in order to highlight the architectural form, the interior environments and the collection of sculptures distributed throughout the garden.

Large groups of plants of several sizes were strategically arranged to frame the building ans to facilitate garden maintenance without compromising the landscape’s aesthetic quality.
The interplay between filled and empty spaces creates rich spatial experiences along pathways and areas of permanence. The architecture is alternately concealed and revealed among palms, trees and flowering shrubs, gaining elegance and a sense of poetry.

The garden is conceived as an extension of the house, establishing the connection between interior and exterior. Outdoors, colorful pathways, with unfoldsvarious textures and scents provide privacy, comfort, and beauty throughout the seasons. Indoors, a naturalized background unfolds, visually open to all interior spaces, allowing the contact with nature in everyday life.

The main entrance to the residence is protected by a subtle elevation of the terrain, ensuring privacy for residents and visitors who arrive or depart from the building. The vegetation forms a natural barrier from the street, adding exuberance through seasonal flowering. Adjacent to the building, the same design language is maintained, emphasizing the masonry lines while revealing the architecture through layers of foliage.

Along the frontal portion of the property, two large groups of clustering palms and ornamental trees are complemented by medium-sized shrubs that ensure privacy for the leisure areas. As a result, the sand court and swimming pool remain protected from neighboring views, while the external sidewalk is enriched by the expressive canopies of purple Handroanthus, Erythrina, and other striking flowering trees, bringing beauty to everyday life.

At the SPA entrance, the garden takes on an even more tropical character, alternately revealing and veiling the architecture like a set of transparencies. Along the side portion of the lot, native broadleaf trees, Heliconias, and flowering shrubs create a mosaic of colors and textures that defines the property limits, gradually dissolving the surrounding houses and opening onto the noble pool area.
Facing the pool, where the site opens toward the condominium’s green area, a framed horizon view was created, bordered by palms whose slender trunks form natural columns, deepening the visual perspective. Low shrubs and planting beds bloom in seasonal rhythms, ensuring color in both summer and winter, day and night, while foliage provides movement and texture year-round.
Within these garden settings, a curated collection of artworks engages in dialogue with the vegetation, establishing poetic connections between art and landscape and inviting contemplation of the constructed nature of the place.

On the southern side, a line of Açaí palms (Euterpe oleracea) forms a delicate and permeable visual barrier, preserving privacy without compromising the harmony of the landscape. On the lawn in front of the dining room, a sculpture by artist Victor Brecheret integrates into the garden, surrounded by planting beds that merge art and nature, visible from both the interior spaces and the external pathways.
The region between the two main architectural volumes (residence and SPA) is kept open and lawned, with gentle undulations that follow the natural topography. Within this setting, the sand court, swimming pool, and diverse planting beds are integrated, allowing the garden to be appreciated from any point on the property.

Finally, the plant palette is organized across multiple scales—from canopy trees to low groundcovers—stitching the garden together as a continuous narrative. Trees like Myrciaria cauliflora and Eugenia uniflora bring fragrance to the Gourmet/SPA area. Cyrtostachys renda and Carpentaria acuminata introduce an exotic character, while Calycophyllum spruceanum reinforces the site’s identity. Each species was selected as a singular element, ensuring beauty and elegance from every viewpoint, whether at ground level or from the upper terraces.
