A living garden in autumn

A garden on diffe­rent levels

This living garden of a newly built detached house offers its owners harmo­nious hours in diffe­rent places and impresses with its calm choice of mate­rials. The living and dining area is located on the upper floor of the house, from where you can enjoy the view of the surroun­ding coun­try­side and moun­tains. On this level, a cosy seating area invites you to enjoy a barbecue. High-quality natural stone slabs create an elegant and simple ambi­ence, while an attrac­tive soli­tary tree forms a special eye-catcher in the garden.

Surrounded by a natural stone seating wall, the iron­wood tree stands out from the rest of the seating area and acts as a magical centre of attrac­tion on the upper level. The covered seating area with a modern pergola, which creates a beau­tiful inter­play of light and shade, is surrounded by a higher natural stone wall. From here you can look out over the rest of the garden and enjoy cosy hours in a peaceful atmo­sphere.

Seating area in harmo­nious privacy

On the lower level, a spacious lawn empha­sises the size of the garden. Surrounded by pretty rock pears planted with airy grasses, you can enjoy undis­turbed privacy here. A parti­cular high­light in this area of the garden is the time­less natural stone façade with the seating area below. A bed on the façade provides space for a small herb and fruit garden. The high-quality natural stone conti­nues here and blends in perfectly with the unique archi­tec­ture of the house. This seating area is also bordered by a slightly less high natural stone wall. The surroun­ding ever­green yew hedge creates a wonderful screen and increases privacy.

Invi­ting entrance area

The calm and harmo­nious choice of mate­rials begins in the entrance area of this resi­den­tial garden. The large fore­court with garage and shel­tered house entrance is bordered at the sides by selected specimen trees and an airy band of grasses with flowe­ring shrubs. The specimen trees have an atmo­spheric autumn colou­ring and are pretty eye-catchers that radiate a warm ambi­ence when you come home. The ever­green, low-maintenance hedge skilfully conceals the container space. It conti­nues onto the other levels and natu­rally deli­mits the entire garden.
