The project:
The project involves the creation of a roof garden in the roof terrace of a single-family house in Sicily.
The building is located on the coast of Ragusa, in Cava D'Aliga, a seaside village of Scicli, facing the sea.
For a general analysis of the vegetation, I have examined the entire territory of the province of Ragusa, characterised by a set of landscape and naturalistic factors related by the Irminio river and its tributaries; factors that I will distinguish in three systems with their peculiarities.
The river winds through the limestone gorges marking the Iblei plateaus and then flows into the Strait of Sicily. The project is located in the latter system, the coastal strip, characterised by the mouth of the Bruca stream and the Scicli suburban park, Costa di Carro.
