One frame.
A whole world.
The house opens to the garden.
Light on the water.
The garden invites you
to pause.
Paolo Capece’s studies in Japan are part of this way of seeing landscape. A garden invites us to notice what changes: light on water, the colour of leaves, a lengthening shadow. Stone remains; around it, life continues.
A garden takes shape as it grows: in the shade a tree will cast twenty years from now, in the seasons that change the colour of its leaves, in paths that become familiar. Designing it means thinking about that future too.

CANOPY · BLUE AND LIGHT
Colour gives
shade its form.
A blue structure beneath a warm-toned canopy. Light filters through the roof, drawing a pattern that changes throughout the day. Even a small outdoor space can have a distinct character.

01 / OUR APPROACH
A house and its garden.
Designed as one.
Our work is centred on villas, parks and gardens in Costa Smeralda. Relationships with our clients continue over time: the Studio becomes a trusted point of reference for both house and landscape, and that trust has taken us to Pietrasanta in Tuscany, Lake Maggiore in Lombardy and Abruzzo. Every project begins with the character of its place: light, vegetation and materials.

Let’s draw together.
A wish becomes a line. Together with the client, we explore shapes, paths and connections between home, water and garden. A sketch opens the conversation and guides the first choices.
MATERIAL AND COLOUR
Among endless possibilities, we find together what feels like you.
Light wood, blue and mineral greys.
Wood grain meets a blue-grey geometric pattern. Two shades of grey bring continuity to the surfaces.
Honey-toned wood, pale blue and ochre.
Warm wood meets pale blue ceramic and earth tones. Colour becomes part of the space.
Bringing colour to the Studio.
It starts with a line, a conversation, a sample on the table. We guide each client through materials, colours and finishes, creating a whole that feels their own.
A kitchen of your own.
Daily rituals, personal habits, the pleasure of welcoming others. A kitchen takes shape around those who use it, through a dialogue between light, furniture and architecture.
For every atmosphere,
its own material.
Black slate, Berloni bathroom furniture and bamboo beyond the window. Light meets deep-toned surfaces and lets the greenery emerge. An intimate, essential, timeless space.
A dream home comes to life.
There are places where roses, wisteria and Mediterranean architecture come together in a dream home. At Giagumona, among the blossoms and the light, there is also Mosè, my beloved dog. — Paolo Capece
Energy is part of the design.
At Petra Segreta in San Pantaleo, corten canopies integrate photovoltaics within a wider programme of property improvements and landscape integration. Generating energy on site means designing towards greater self-sufficiency, bringing architecture, efficiency and landscape together.
A garden of your own.
A garden to enjoy without regular lawn mowing. Flowers, ground covers and small shrubs create a tapestry of colours, scents and seasons. Care takes a different form: observing, guiding growth and intervening where needed.
Sustainability takes root in design.
Every landscape project starts by listening to the place: its climate, wind, exposure, soil and existing vegetation. Bringing agronomy and architecture together helps us select plants and arrange spaces according to actual conditions and how they will be used.
Water is a resource to consider from the first sketches. Plants suited to the setting, soil protection and irrigation tailored to need guide our choices. Even a low-water garden needs attention while becoming established and during difficult conditions.
We design for growth, the seasons and future maintenance. Preserving what matters, supporting soil permeability and creating varied vegetation are choices to consider together, for a landscape that gains quality over time.
