Terraza MM presents a counternarrative to the design guidelines of the Manifiesto. The project features a carefully controlled indoor environment tailored to exotic subtropical plants, including philodendrons, alocas, and orchids, all thriving under greenhouse-like conditions. Outdoors, resilient cacti were selected for their ability to adapt to variable lighting and irrigation.
To uphold the curated and exotic aesthetic, the terrace features an impressive collection of over 15 plant species, thoughtfully arranged within a compact 5-square-meter space.
Orchids, inspired by the client’s personal preference, became a defining design element, bridging the client’s taste with the designer’s creative vision.
This diverse selection exemplifies a harmonious balance between design and botanical richness, reinforcing the project's vision of a lush and vibrant environment.
