Phase I: Discover "what gives life"
Living in Greece
This phase also involves delving into your travel and living history, recalling fond memories of places you've visited or lived in that could influence the final design of your property.
Travels to Tuscany, Italy
In travels to Tuscany, the home I bought reminded me of the Villas that stand on hilltops, combined with the typical landscaping that surrounds it.

Relive the moments your senses were touched by the sights, sounds, and smell of your favorite spots. Paying attention to what emotions were evoked when you went back to your favorite places.
Phase II: Dream "what might be"
Bring "discover" components to realistic elements.
Olive trees and water features are becoming key components in landscaping, particularly on the islands.
