Terrace with lake view

Terrace with fountain

The spatial structure of this terrace was divided into two main areas: One area is semi-shaded and contains lawn, hydrangeas and a small strip of slabs for a bistro table.

The other area is a pure slab surface with a water basin and a natural stone wall rising up behind it. The water flows gently over this natural stone wall directly into the water basin and makes a soft rippling sound. The pool and wall are one and the same and are skillfully set off by two maples. The high hedge hides the surroundings, so that the focus is on the terrace and the fountain remains the highlight. This second area also forms the dining area, whereas the first area is more for sunbathing and lounging.

Connection and visual relationship

The two areas are connected by a long, narrow tube with paving. This tube is broken up by selective containers, furniture and decoration and the space is better structured. Two elongated planters made of the same material as the fountain, for example, line this path. The focus is on the lake, and the design supports this visual relationship. The pine tree below the terrace does not detract from the view of the lake either, on the contrary: its loose growth makes it a great eye-catcher.

A harmonious color concept in modern shades of grey and brown rounds off the design and emphasizes the essentials: the lush green or red of the plants, the elegant planters, garden furniture and decorations.
