Symmetry in the front garden
The redesign transformed the dark, cluttered entrance area into an open and inviting front garden. The customer's wish for modern simplicity and strong contrasts between greenery and stone was implemented with a symmetrical layout and reduced planting. By reducing the design to the essentials, the actual entrance to the house is shown to its best advantage, the front garden appears calm and is also easier to maintain.
Modern layout
The desire for more clarity was met not only by the room layout, but also by the planting. The existing symmetrical arrangement of the front garden was retained and reinforced with appropriate plants. The two bulbous containers with the red-leaved maples are planted with grass-like perennials and are thus particularly emphasized. To the left and right, the front garden is closed off by two umbrella-shaped ornamental shrubs.
Front garden in two versions
The front garden of the neighboring house was also redesigned at the same time. The size and layout are the same, but the front gardens differ in style: Asian-inspired front garden.
