Modern garden with concrete-look canopy

As is the case with so many people, this small backyard in Maarheeze had been the children’s domain. Children become adolescents and then it’s time for a garden metamorphosis. “We like to sit outside, preferably well into the fall!” the clients said at the first interview. And now you can.

Landscaping on the square meter
In a small garden, space is often at a premium. In this garden, which is less than 100 m2, our garden architect Gert-Jan Schouwenaar has forged the various functions into a whole in a balanced way. The eye-catcher is the covered terrace constructed from walls and surfaces in a dark and light concrete look. Note that this canopy has no poles! Dimmable spotlights, electrical outlets and connections for the Internet are concealed in the walls and ceiling. Right next to this family patio is a cool fireplace: the Burning Barrel.

Garden design with modern materials
The canopy has an industrial look due to the concrete-look material. It looks like concrete, but it is made of low-maintenance polyester manufactured by Luxcom. Polyester walls are colorfast and are easy to keep clean. The “piecework” doesn’t freeze off either. In this material, all kinds of provisions can be made in advance, such as lighting, power, and so on. The drainage pipes run through the inside of the wall. Pretty tidy, then!

Atmospheric decoration of the garden
As a counterpart to the firm and sturdy canopy, a large tree trunk table was installed. Very attractive is also the decoration by the wall with the narrow wooden slats. In this wall, the entrance door is almost invisibly concealed. The planting areas are large and hefty groups have been applied. Maintenance has thus been reduced to a minimum. From the interior you look summer and winter on a beautiful large planting area.
