Nothofagus trees were planted in a natural forest design.
The selected species, Nothofagus Antarctica, also known as Antarctic Beech, is an extremely ancient tree. Its pattern distribution across the southern Pacific Ocean, suggests that the distribution of the Nothofagus dates back to the time when Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand and South America were connected in a mass of common land and formed a single continent.
At one time, this species was believed unable to reproduce today, but we see that they continue to grow and in extreme conditions such as the mountains of Patagonia. Therefore, both its beauty and its strength, the fact that it continues growing and being robust until the present time, is very significant for us.
The simplicity of the design allows visitors to feel at peace when they enter the enclosed garden. “Being under the trees” allows people to move spontaneously, to relax, to contemplate nature. The objective of the project was to recreate the characteristics of a Chilean forest, using simple materials, such as travertine marble extracted from Northern Chile, and trees native to southern Chile, both emblems of the beauty of the Chilean landscape.
