Garden at striking villa

This home holds the middle ground between Italian charm and contemporary class – a striking appearance in an open, rural setting. The design was done in close consultation with the architect. For example, about elements such as the terrace and the “encapsulation” of the garage in a green hill to meet urban planning requirements. In short, constructive interaction between design disciplines.

Playing with heights and widths

The narrow lot and height differences were complex challenges that we brought to fruition through clever interventions. Thus, concrete retaining walls – concealed in a sloping volume of yew – catch the level differences: from the roof to the ditch level more than five meters. A robust garden wall separates the home from the adjacent parking lot. And the existing hedge on the property boundary was replaced with green volumes. As a result, the garden looks wider because it visually flows into the neighbor’s.

Wonderful waterscape involve

The terrace borders a beautiful pond and the vast landscape. To create security, we planted trees with sufficient mass. Furthermore, we applied volumes of beech to hide the foundation of terrace and embankment and create a green slope. The lower water would be almost invisible from the house. The solution: we dug a sloping bowl to create a gentle bank with a view of the water. In the bowl we introduced a marsh zone with water-loving plantings such as Darmera peltata, Carex muskingumensis, Iris siberica and a swamp cypress. Furthermore, there is a terrace bordered by exuberant greenery – a secure spot in the wide open space.

Mix between old and new

The staircase that provides access to the terrace is at the same time a seating element in bamboo decking. They also return elsewhere in the garden to experience the natural spectacle in peace. Of the existing groves, one willow was retained for its characteristic form. Furthermore, the planting is tailored to the characteristics of the polder landscape. The residents wanted only white flowers. To avoid a monotonous look, the choice went to plantings with a variety of leaf shapes and textures.

Strong sample of landscape art

The great strength of this garden lies in the use of thoughtful “land art”: excavations for visibility, undulations and embankment lines to accommodate level differences, and striking volumes for a strong structure. The slopes, modeled curves and bowl-shaped inlet break the rectilinearity of the narrow lot. The beautiful willow on the peninsula is the icing on the cake of this experiential and atypical villa garden.
