An accessible route is projected from ramps along the garden to make the two floors of the house accessible. The new ramp system starts from a triangulation that carries the rainwater to a reservoir.

The project also conducts a study on the native vegetation suitable for the different ecosystems of the garden and generates three different spaces, the first one closer to the house, the second one between the house and the orchard, and finally another to the orchard itself.
