A seat to feel good

Seat as the center of the garden

In this garden redesign, the focus was on the seating area. The curved shape of the gravel square with the framing lush planting create an idyllic and romantic image. The modern water basin and linear treads in the lawn tie in with the modern and simple patio and building. A clever combination of bench and water feature was created around the water basin, as the pump well was integrated into the seating area.

As a contrast to the lush planting, the three tall trees around the seating area stand like columns. Their accurate spherical crowns are very architectural and striking and structure the planting. It was also important to the client that the dominant neighboring house could be concealed and the view directed to something much more attractive. The newly designed seating area is attractive and creates space for socializing outdoors with a gentle splash in the ear.

Coziness created

From the existing 600m² garden, about 400m² were redesigned. The garden consisted mainly of an empty lawn and therefore looked boring, the outdoor space could not be used properly. The client wanted a seating area with trees as well as water in the garden. They wanted a place to sit comfortably with guests, read a book in the shade or relax and unwind.
