The garden before & after
A cosy pool level
The previously uneven and partially sloped lawn was divided into different levels to create a gentle sequence of spaces. Low-maintenance stone and wood coverings ensure a natural overall look. At the lower part of the house, the existing seating area was enlarged and offers the family a cosy lounge area. Three beautiful espalier trees conceal the pavilion in front of it, while a light planting of ornamental grasses and evergreens create an airy atmosphere.
On the other garden level, the naturally cleaned pool invites you to swim and enjoy. The wooden pool surround and the wooden deck on this pool level create a warm atmosphere. From the adjoining lounge level, you can enjoy the uninterrupted view of the water and the family garden as well as the view of the surrounding area. A natural stone wall with a planting of airy ornamental grasses supports the area behind it and perfectly conceals the slope.
