If you looked out of the living room into the garden, you could see a spectacular panoramic view of the mountains. Between the house and the panorama, however, the garden in between seemed dull. When the existing house was extended, the garden was also designed at the same time.
Harmony between the interior and exterior
The remodelling has created a breathtaking garden with a special atmosphere. The architecture of the house and the garden harmonise with each other. The floor-to-ceiling living room windows create a connection between inside and outside. The spacious area was divided into different outdoor spaces. In the overall picture, these rooms merge together and provide a quiet retreat with privacy.
Gentle movements in the foliage
The wind makes gentle movements in the leaves of the maple and ornamental grasses visually recognisable. If you close your eyes, you can hear a gentle rustling of leaves in the crown of the Japanese maple. The leaves of the krummholz pine and the wig shrub also dance in the wind. A gentle splashing from the fountain adds to the calming soundscape. This is emphasised by the singing of songbirds.
A portrait of the garden
The magic of water
Water elements in the garden are enchanting, arouse longing and have a strong attraction. The fountain, which stretches across the western part of the garden, and the spacious pool to the east invite you to linger. The sky with its clouds is reflected in the surface of the water, making the garden appear even more expansive. In the evening, the light of the stars can be observed in the surface of the water around the fire pit with a crackling fire under the pergola.
Planting concept of the water garden
Individual striking anthracite-coloured planters provide contrast and interrupt the straight lines of the garden area with a striking subtlety. The view of the surrounding mountains is undisturbed and unobstructed, as the lawn has been planned in such a way that it does not obstruct the view. The waving sea of grasses with their decorative stalks and filigree spikes is another structural element in the garden. The coming autumn colours in particular will cloak the grasses in bright yellow, orange and red. The carefully placed trees add another layer to the garden.
