Green terrace design
This detached house was designed on two levels. The upper level is dominated by the large terrace on the sunny side with a view of the mountains. The large green solitary plants stand out, serving as an ideal privacy screen. After all, what would a terrace be without plants? They give the terrace plenty of greenery, which makes it look natural and modern at the same time. The solitary plants are planted in Atelier square containers, which create a simple and elegant effect.
In the corner there is a spacious lounge with plenty of room where family and friends are sure to feel at home. The whole combination of the beautiful greenery, the natural stone floor and the lounge makes the terrace varied and exciting.
Garden design with swimming pool
The garden also boasts a large swimming pool and a green lawn. From there, you can take a wonderful run-up for a dip in the pool. The children particularly appreciate this "runway" - pure action. The lounge provides peace and quiet from where the sun's rays can be enjoyed in peace and quiet. At the back of the garden there is a shaded seating area on gravel with hydrangea planting for hot summer days.
When designing a garden, we make sure that the garden extends the living space. Visual connections from the interior also play an important role here. The view can wander undisturbed through the garden so that the living room still feels open and flows seamlessly into the garden. The shimmering pool is also within sight and gives everything a natural and modern feel.
Detailed equipment
The client wanted the garden to be furnished down to the last detail. Grasses were planted right down to the last corner, giving the garden design a personal and refined touch. The patio area was also furnished with plenty of greenery and exclusive planters. The plants are optimally watered by an automatic irrigation system from GardenTec. This means that the client can enjoy the garden to the full and no longer has to worry about watering it on time. The robot mower takes care of the lawn. To ensure that the patio and garden exude a homely atmosphere even after sunset, pots and individual plants are illuminated.
