A long series of minimalist gestures highlights the graceful and impressive composition of ancient tree trunks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sleek trunks are a nice contrast to the natural forest edges in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the fields of ornamental grasses are a reference to the lush fields in the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The garden borders a nature reserve. The character of the entire area is defined by beech-birch forests and heathland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The design chose to create a garden that is not subject to time and trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The slender lines contrast nicely with the natural shapes of the forest edges. The slopes of ornamental grasses are a reference to the lush heaths of the surrounding fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most logical place for the pool would have been right next to the house, but as a landscape architect, I chose to place the pool deep in the garden. This changes the perception of the garden as a whole. By creating a pathway to somewhere, you reinforce the emotion generated by the place. The pool and bathhouse *are now located among the planes of ornamental grasses, at the edge of the forest. As a result, you feel a part of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strong horizontal lines connect the scale of the house to the scale of the garden and landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* The concept of the pool and bathhouse design was developed in collaboration with BOS architects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":383237,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"Strammen Cathedral | 't Gooi","_yoast_wpseo_title":"%%title%% %%page%%","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"A long series of minimalist gestures highlights the graceful and impressive composition of ancient tree trunks.","_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"58","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"60","content-type":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords":"[]","_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms":"[\"\"]","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":null,"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":""},"hoog_category":[],"class_list":["post-386786","hoog_project","type-hoog_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"hoog_project_owner":856056,"hoog_contributors":null,"hoog_project_badge":"","hoog_featured_project":false,"hoog_project_video":"","hoog_project_photos":[{"image_file":383237,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":383200,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":383197,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":383203,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":383206,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":383212,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"},{"image_file":383218,"video_id":"","image_size":"full"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
