Garden with a view of the Rapperswil castle

Modern and cosy at the same time

This garden impresses with its clear lines, which give the garden a wonderfully modern overall appearance and extend the house. The pool surround made of Dietfurt dolomite natural stone transforms the garden into a warm and almost Mediterranean recreational area right on the doorstep. A cosy spot has been created next to the pool, where the warm summer days can be enjoyed until after sunset.

A large lawn area behind the pool gives the garden a spacious feel. The view glides from the water over the open lawn to the end of the garden, where a breathtaking view captivates every visitor. The planting has been skilfully chosen and an interrupted hedge allows an uninterrupted view of the Rapperswil castle. This incredible far-reaching view is an absolute highlight in this garden and has strongly influenced the design.

A very special planting

The planting makes it possible to create space in the open air and gives the garden an incredibly idyllic feel. There were already two magnificent trees in the original garden. A magnolia Magnolia soulangeana and a Japanese maple Acer palmatum were temporarily stored during the renovation and then replanted in the remodelled garden. A rocky subsoil is not normally an ideal substrate for a maple. However, as it had already grown on the rock, placing it in the same place was no problem. The low-maintenance planting was designed to create a calm and harmonious atmosphere and allow the family to enjoy their own personal garden oasis. The soft shrubs at the entrance make for a great sight when you come home. The planting at the outer edge of the garden echoes this softness and draws the eye to the unique view beyond.

Lighting concept in the garden

The outdoor area has been transformed into a real living garden and the garden is also captivating after sunset thanks to the customised lighting concept. While the light in the water colours the pool turquoise, the solitary trees with their strong character are further eye-catchers thanks to diffuse lighting. The neighbouring houses automatically recede into the background and the gaze wanders once again into the distance, where the lake and the city lights can be discovered. The entrance area is also a highlight at night. The lighting magically guides visitors to the house and provides an unforgettable welcome.
