The garden is not just a decoration: it is a living system that requires vision, technique and deep biological knowledge.
My name is Cristina Mazzucchelli, and my signature in garden design comes from an unconventional path. Before embarking on the path to become a landscape designer, I trained as a biologist, in the field of molecular genetics.
This scientific background defines my method today: an analytical approach that does not stop at aesthetics, but studies the specific characteristics of plants, the compatibility of ecosystems and the technical sustainability of each intervention, to ensure its durability.
From small terraces to large parks, I transform outdoor space into living architecture, capable of evolving over time without losing design coherence. A rigorous method, for a result in balance between harmony and functionality, capable of transmitting pleasure and well-being: designing means organizing the complexity of nature to make it an ally and accomplice in creating regenerative environments, with the precision of someone who has explored the dynamics of life, plants and man, down to its molecular foundations.
From design intuition to attention to detail, through a shared journey we give shape and life to the Eden you have always dreamed of.
CRISTINA MAZZUCCHELLI
Founder
Passionate about nature, a biologist with a doctorate in molecular genetics, after various experiences abroad, she indulges her vocation for the art of gardens, training at the Scuola Agraria di Monza and the Faculty of Agriculture in Milan.
After an apprenticeship in a large nursery, she opens her own landscape architecture studio. From the first steps to the realization, Cristina is personally involved in projects of various scales, from terraces, especially in the Milan area, to gardens, from public parks to installations, basing her achievements on scientific rigor, functionality and imagination.
The continuous search for plants capable of thriving even in difficult contexts, such as urban ones, and the incessant exploration of possible botanical compositions that are durable and able to amaze for variety of shapes, colors and scents represent a hallmark of her work, inherited from the habit of experimenting in the scientific field. A member of AIAPP (Italian Association of Landscape Architecture), she has participated in and won various awards and competitions. Due to the originality of her approach, she is frequently invited as a speaker at conferences and conventions, and collaborates with several newspapers, producing reports on gardens, landscape and botanical culture.
Her work is regularly published in both national and international prestigious journals in the field of gardens and architecture. His terraces
have appeared for years and continuously in Gardenia magazine, an Italian reference point in green culture.
