Modern garden on three levels
The versatile private garden on three levels with a pool in the centre has a strong impact thanks to the many paved areas. The spacious area on the upper level offers plenty of room for the dining area, from where you can overlook the pool and enjoy the lake view. A fire bowl in a recess with gravel adds to the atmosphere. The central staircase leading down to the pool is framed at the side by decorative planters and creates a Mediterranean ambience. On the middle level, the pool takes up almost the entire area and is shielded from the neighbouring house by a side planting of evergreen and flowering shrubs and umbrella-shaped trees. The low rose beds preserve the view of the lake. If you look out over the garden from the top level, it seems as if the lower level is gliding directly into the lake.
Mediterranean elegance
The lowest level is enclosed by a step and a low hedge and offers space for a cosy lounge with a view of the lake. The hedges create a cosy atmosphere. The modern design has a Mediterranean ambience thanks to the lake view, the harmonious planting and the many hard surfaces. The spacious terrace leaves nothing to be desired and offers space for all kinds of uses. The flexible garden impresses with its simple elegance and the various levels that can be used in different ways. The low planting maintains the connection to the lake and creates an atmospheric ambience.
