Project by the Landscape Architect Martí Franch. It is a park where forestry sets the tone, with poplar and oak plantations, simulating woodland with narrow concrete paths surrounded by ivy covered dunes.

Due to the project recovering the former factory buildings Can Framis, the average level of the garden and the museum buildings are approximately 1.5 m below street level. That fact means the museum and garden are considered a floodable area.

In order to provide a solution to guarantee swift evacuation of rain water, construction of an underground concrete tank was designed, to collect the rain water and subsequently pump it to the sewer network.
