Modern garden on three levels
The versatile private garden on three levels with a pool in the center 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 further lightens the atmosphere. The central staircase leading down to the pool is framed 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 neighboring 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 glides directly into the lake.
Mediterranean elegance
The lowest level is bordered by a step and a low hedge and offers space for a cozy lounge with a view of the lake. The hedges create a homely atmosphere. The modern design is given a Mediterranean ambience by 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 preserves the connection to the lake and creates an atmospheric ambience.
