a fairytale woodland by the lake
place:moscow, russia
project:djao-rakitine landscape architecture
lighting project:djao-rakitine
photos:olga alexeyenko
foreman: irene djao-rakitine
the site is located in a woodland area, to the north of moscow. the project suggests to clear the lower part of the land to create framed views on the lake and includes a long alleyway of pine trees transplanted from the site, as well as a flowering meadow and a small orchard of apple and cherry trees. in parallel to the alleyway, a large timber path connects the main terrace of the house to the lake shore, transforming into a pontoon on the lake. the existing woodland is planted with a collection of rhododendrons, providing bright orange, pink and red colours amongst the pines and birch trees. a meandering path follows the natural topography of the land and allows for a smooth stroll amongst the woodland down to the lake. lighting bulbs attached to a wire at different heights follow and highlight the timber steps and the pontoon gently and festively down to the lakeshore. different light features light up some of the pines in the alley as well as the reed and the woodland, creating a vibrant and interesting landscape in the darker hours.
