This garden extension for a contemporary home combines respect for the existing design with a desire for more botanical diversity and possibilities for relaxing.

Along the street, the original uniform hedge gradually transitions into a more diverse and free-growing shrub border, adding texture, color and a sense of privacy. The central lawn subtly transits to a woodland planting toward the back, creating a natural pathway that offers new perspectives and seasonal highlights throughout the year.

The existing height difference in the back of the garden provokes a sequence of wooden terraces, overlooking a natural swimming pond and offering layered views over the landscape.
