1.2. Tree Award 1st Prize

Know-how to grow

With this project, Exterior and Ebben won first place in the 1.2. Tree Award, a distinction for successful and sustainably developed garden and park projects. The 1.2. Tree Award considers the following criteria:

• the importance of trees in the project
• creativity and innovation: how are the trees integrated into the project (new perspectives, uses, creative design, resolute choices, tree choice etc.)
• balance and determination of the project: harmony, long-term, functionality and sustainability
• integration with the existing environment
• technical implementation, craftsmanship

The jury was impressed in particular by the multi-stem Zelkovas, which are planted close to the house and “create a very special effect.”
