On the occasion of the rehabilitation of the French school of Tunis, Sativa proposes an Oasis garden.
As the oasis in the arid desert, the garden is at the center of the imposing architecture of the high school.
Small channels (séguias) irrigates the garden and compose different levels of terraces. The structure of the garden is divided into three terraces. The highest one is planted with tamarisk, alfas and prickly pear cactus, which defend the oasis against the desert. The middle terrace is the orchard. The lower terrace is the most valuable element of the oasis, the vegetable garden
