In 2022 MÀKIA was engaged by Progenia and Four Seasons Florence to vision and master plan several new interventions and restoration projects for the historic Giardino della Gherardesca and surrounding landscapes inside the walls of the iconic Four Seasons Florence Hotel.
Dating back to the 1400’s, the garden underwent many transformations through the years and is a protected monument for the City of Florence. MÀKIA and the Design Team worked closely with the local governing agencies and historical archives to develop landscape interventions with a refined craft and style, while respecting and uncovering past elements of the garden long forgotten or which had fallen in disrepair. The construction and restoration projects will becompleted in several phases.
