The Shihabi Residence is a boutique-scale villa landscape renovation, set within an area of less than 5,000 sq.m, designed to immerse the client in fragrance, flowers, and greenery.

At the entrance, the design emphasizes scent with the planting of Cestrum nocturnum(Queen of the Night) and Cestrum diurnum (Queen of the Day), ensuring that both daytime and evening arrivals are marked by distinctive fragrance.

The villa’s architecture plays a key role in the landscape experience—its windows act as frames, capturing views of the outside garden as living artworks. To complement these perspectives, the front garden is structured with cycads, whose bold forms and textured foliage create sculptural compositions. Initially five cycads were placed, but their differing heights and foliage density meant the composition appeared visually light. Adjustments were made to enrich the density of the planting, ensuring the framed views convey depth and lushness.

Around the boundaries, a varied palette of bougainvillea and climbers soften the walls and introduce cascades of color, while the wider garden is filled with flowering plants to meet the client’s wish for abundant blooms.

This renovation transforms the residence into a sensory-rich garden, balancing fragrance, framed views, and lush greenery to create an intimate floral retreat.
