New Vision… and Vertical Innovation
By Juan Pedro Sacedón from Doubleview
This spring a new outlet is being opened opposite the Marbella Club, the Marmorin Design Centre, and we invite readers to come and visit our showroom and studio. Doubleview takes care of consultation and project development for outdoor areas, with the construction of garden and “vegetative” architecture. In undertaking garden projects, we have access to the advice and services of other professionals, both within and outside the Marmorin Design Centre. Developing fountains and lighting, and even garden furniture, requires the vision of specialists – those who are experienced at working with the relevant techniques and materials. We consult with an expert in lighting, an electrical engineer, an interior decorator who advises us on the furniture and works with the top brands, and a specialist in flooring and natural materials, so we are able to provide the best service within the outlines of a specific project. We install irrigation systems and lighting integrated with domotic home automation systems, in a way that enables you to work with the garden from your own telephone.
Currently, the Acer Jardinería company exclusively develops its vertical garden system, helping us with the design and carrying out the work… on such projects as Dani García’s restaurant and the vertical garden at Muelle Uno in Málaga. Thanks to a revolutionary technique, we can cover any vertical surface with plants. This technique is based on the use of gabions of metallic mesh filled with a special type of moss that acts as a substratum. These gabions are erected on a fixed support that adapts to the surface which requires covering. Once the structure is erected, planting begins of the vertical garden using species specified in the design. The substratum’s features are such that optimum development of the plants is achieved and maintenance is minimal. The whole combination comprises an automatic programmable irrigation system that supplies the required water.
You can see a display of this process in one of our designs at the showroom in the Marmorin Design Centre. Juan Pedro Sacedón is a garden and landscape designer at the Doubleview: Tel. (+34) 655 377 601; www.facebook.com/jppaisajismo.
