This garden is one of the 50 most beautiful private gardens in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It received the "Gardens of the Year 2022" award from Callwey Verlag.
The outdoor living room impresses with its overall concept: homely, modern and yet dreamy. The different areas flow into each other like the fountain and yet they stand alone.
The garden before and after the redesign
Magical attraction of the fountain
When you enter the garden, the maple tree immediately catches your eye. Surrounded by fragrant lavender, which is visited by many bees, bumblebees and butterflies, there is a striking wooden table with chairs, the pattern of which reflects the branches of the solitary trees. The maple forms a canopy of leaves over the seating area, giving it a dreamy, inviting appearance. The result is a room without walls.
Magically drawn to this seating area, the next highlight appears around the corner: in the middle of the dining area is a fountain with three gargoyles. The water is reflected in the trunks of the solitary trees next to the water feature. No matter where you are in the garden: The fountain is the centerpiece of this outdoor living room, not only visually but also acoustically.
What has changed in the garden
The element of water was already very present beforehand. The pond and the embankment made the garden very narrow. The redesign created a lot of space and privacy. The garden opens up around the kitchen and living room. After the redesign, the outdoor space matches the interior. The boundaries are fluid and the lighting further extends the interior space in the evening.
A garden for every season
In late summer and fall, the autumn anemones awaken throughout the garden and even dare to climb up between the waterspouts. Once you reach the fountain, you are now in the dining area of the garden, which is additionally protected by a pergola. The dining area is directly accessible from the kitchen and is used whenever possible. There is also a small herb bed next to the stairs, which is often used.
Embedded in a beautiful natural stone wall, hours fly by in this lounge. With a book in your hand and the gentle splashing of the fountain in the background, it's easy to forget the stresses of everyday life. If you follow the stairs upwards, your gaze wanders over the garden with its many individual highlights.
A lighting concept for a unique atmosphere
A very special highlight is the light that has been used in the garden. Fountains, paths, walls and trees are illuminated even after the sun has gone down, creating a very special ambience. The treetops glow and make the surroundings fade even further into the background. A real paradise by day and by night and at any time of year.
