Private Garden T.

The small home garden at the foot of the magnificent Mythen massif welcomes with rose and water lily terraces that lead over two stories to the entrance and further through an herb garden to the residential garden. A grassy path leads through an orchard to an outlook bench situated high over the garden.

The small house garden at the foot of the magnificent Mythen mountains welcomes with rose and water lily terraces, which lead over two stories to the entrance and further through an herb garden to the garden for living. Existing rocks were supplemented and water that collects in a flat basin, at which it is possible to relax in a hammock under serviceberry trees, was added. The pool, which is framed by a red exposed concrete wall toward the slope, is situated one story higher. To the side, a meadow path leads up to a small outlook point under an old walnut tree, from which the entire panorama is revealed. The path from the entrance to the concluding outlook point follows a development from a very geometric garden to a minimal intervention in nature, with the aim of having many garden sceneries that intermesh and give rise to diverse atmospheres come into their own in a small space.
