Finished gardens & terraces - Our reference projects
This garden design stands out for the harmonious interaction between the existing garden elements and the new ones. It incorporates elements of Asian garden design in it. The garden can be divided into two parts: The front, bright and modern part borders the living room and with its simple, linear design matches the brightly furnished interior. Shaped shrubs provide additional structure to this unadorned part of the garden. The transition to the second, darker part of the garden is fluid, yet noticeable. The plain paving slabs are replaced by gravel and rustic paving, the concrete edging merges into a low natural stone wall. The planting becomes more Asian, the light conditions change from sunny to shady.
The garden pond, the overgrown rock wall and the gallery in the rear garden section were existing. The client wanted a sunny terrace area and from this a harmonious transition into the enchanted part of the garden. The large trees of the adjacent forest form the protective back wall of the garden, create security and contribute significantly to the ambience. The newly built wooden staircase on a steel structure leads up to the gallery on the pond side, from which the garden can be overlooked and the forest entered. Behind the stairs is an alcove to which two steps of rough stone lead. The natural stone wall catches the lush greenery at the back and, together with the wooden floor, gives the niche an ambiance full of warmth and security. The planting in the pots looks natural and almost like a small bed.
Between the Japanese maples and funkias are tranquil green spaces overgrown with moss, which skillfully showcase the specimen trees and the view behind them. Contrary to many garden designs, the view from this garden was not kept completely unobstructed. The spacing between the woody plants allowed for the creation of selected viewing windows, resulting in exciting sight lines to the lake and mountains.
The entrance of the residential house was also remodeled, but is not directly connected to the garden. The natural stone wall, however, is resumed both in this area and in the darker part of the garden above. Special attention is given to the imposing trumpet tree, which is highlighted by the rounded steps. The narrow recess in the natural stone wall allows the trunk to be seen from the other side as well, before walking around the wall and then admiring the tree in all its glory.
