To enhance the view of who is in the house and oppose the linearity of the pool, Hanazaki implanted seven adult Washington palm trees, each over 6m high.

The leafy jabuticabeira of 40 years and the liquidambambers positioned in front of the house also act like refuse of verticality. In the remainder of the project, lowland species predominate, and because it is a cottage project, the professional gave priority to low maintenance species. In the background, masses of red and green texas grass create an organic design in contrast to the emerald grass. Agapantos and yellow lilies help to integrate the house yard into the common area of ​​the condominium. The front garden brings irises, bamboo orchids and ear-of-ounce-capable species to form a living florida fence.
