Courtyard Lisboa
IN STORES
Massimo Dutti’s flagship store in Lisbon occupies the interior of an old neoclassical stately home that has been completely refurbished for its opening, as well as the exterior. The landscaping project was carried out by Jesús Moraime, a renowned Spanish landscape designer, whose aim was to bring the botanical world closer to the citizens of Lisbon and to express different functional and evocative ideas in his intervention.

The concentric and radial layout of the garden planting on the existing flowerbeds, protected as an integral part of the palace complex, refers to the Portuguese colonial expansion around the world. A chromatic rainbow, distorted in its earthly dimension far removed from celestial idealisation, forms the heart of the intervention.

For the edges of the ramp leading from the street to the large glass cube and the interior of the shop, tropical plant species were chosen, the same as for the rest of the shop. Nature in the urban environment and exotic evocation and the textures of the fabrics are the conceptual basis of the landscape intervention by Jesús Moraime’s studio for Massimo Dutti in Lisbon.
