A garden with pool and foun­tain

Between far-reaching views and privacy: time simply runs a little slower here. This remo­delled garden with pool and foun­tain is surrounded by a breath­ta­king moun­tain back­drop.

This breath­ta­king garden is surrounded by impres­sive moun­tains. The conver­sion of the home was realised toge­ther with the garden rede­sign, resul­ting in a harmo­nious overall concept like no other. The exis­ting house was supple­mented with an exten­sion on the left and a further, sepa­rate living area in the garden. The garden is at the centre of the living spaces. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unin­ter­rupted view of the garden. A unique connec­tion between indoors and outdoors ensures a connec­tion between nature and archi­tec­ture.

Before — After: Chan­ging the garden

A modern garden design in connec­tion with nature

The design, the chosen plan­ting and the covered seating area on the oppo­site side of the house provide privacy and a cosy atmo­sphere. The garden almost feels like a park right outside the front door. With your eyes closed, the garden is a true para­dise. Far away from the streets, birds chirp and a gentle breeze blows through your hair and over the surface of the pool. A gentle ripple can be heard from the foun­tain. If you open your eyes, your gaze wanders through the garden, where the grasses and trees are slowly set in motion by the breeze. Behind the house, an impres­sive moun­tain back­drop opens up, making the loca­tion of this garden very special.

Magic by the water — foun­tain and pool in the garden

The pool and foun­tain surround the garden with water. The sky is reflected on the surface of the pool and the foun­tain casts an extra­or­di­nary play of light on the maple next to it. In addi­tion to the visual effect, the element of water creates magical acou­stics. With an open window in the house or at the built-in fire­place by the pergola: water as the essence of life lends the garden an unmist­akable atmo­sphere and simply makes time run a little slower.

Plan­ting concept of the garden

The trees in the garden are deli­bera­tely placed as indi­vi­dual eye-catchers. The fine struc­ture of the trunks lends the garden a certain light­ness. The grasses create gentle tran­si­tions between diffe­rent areas. The wind moves like waves through the sea of grasses, which makes its grand entrance in autumn. The large lawn in the centre opens up the garden and ensures that the view of the moun­tain back­drop can be enjoyed undis­turbed. The indi­vi­dual plan­ters between the grasses next to the foun­tain create a dark colour contrast and add another level to the garden. The three plan­ters in front of the pool are also eye-catchers and contri­bute to the design of the space. They break up the straight lines and the large garden area with a certain elegance.
