The project deals with the theme of restoration and enhancement of historical gardens. The intervention strategy is based on preserving the original outdoor space structures and components. In addition, the project introduces new contemporary elements created by vegetation or architecture that allow the creation of different spaces and unusual points of view.

The new bathroom emerges for shape and material, as the primary visual element of the space and seeks a dialogue with the "barbacani", the walls, the stone lintels, the marmorino surfaces and the iron beams, pre-existing elements in the apartment.

Over the years, the land uses of Giudecca have changed. Observing the historical maps, we can see the progressive thinning out of green spaces. Before the industrialization of 1900, Giudecca was full of fields and farms, but from the first decades of the 1900s, the island housed factories and residences. The project area, therefore, represents one of the last examples of the historic greenery of the island. The site must be protected and safeguarded as evidence of Giudecca's past uses and morphology.

Starting from a study of the historical partitions of the garden, we have noticed how there were two principal paths in the past. Both paths were oriented to define a triple division of the garden areas. Although one of the two traces no longer exists, the project preserves the original geometry, in which the composition works by symmetries, typical of the Italian garden.

In general, the project gives new richness to the garden regarding biodiversity, improving trees and shrubs with native and low-maintenance species. In addition, it enhances the architectural structures as paths and furnishing elements.

The construction of a swimming pool is planned as a new graft inside the historical context. The pool is raised from the garden level and set within a platform thought as a solarium. On the back of the pool, a wall with three arches covered with natural stone slabs acts as a backdrop to the pool. Platform and wall complete the pool's design and create an exceptional place to install private artwork. This architectural element references the bourgeois architecture of the early twentieth century in Italy, such as Villa Necchi Campiglio or the neighboring garden of the Fortuny factory.Over the years, the land uses of Giudecca have changed.
