For our open space concept, we derived a location-defining outdoor space for the new residential district of Suurstoffi in Rotkreuz based on the potentials of the landscape of Zug. We use water, topography, and plants as the predominant design elements. They are put together to create an ornamental pattern representing an abstraction of the surrounding landscape of Zug. The “landscape ornament” developed from it follows in the tradition of the millefleur decoration on the tapestries of the Middle Ages, which tell of fragrant, colorful places and gardens of paradise with a sumptuous sea of flowers. A uniform lawn carpet that produces a link between all the spaces forms the basis of this “millefleur.” In the “garden carpet,” extensive plantings of grasses with gentle depressions and slight elevations, along with luxuriant plantings of perennials contribute to creating a unique atmosphere that is both sensual and matter-of-fact at the same time. Water is introduced as an enlivening element along the “boulevard.” Woven into the picture of a “millefleur” made up of colorful flowers, grasses, and broad surfaces of water, residents thus encounter a variety of special locations that encourage diverse uses.
