HIDE & REVEAL

The garden of a house in the countryside is designed as a layered system that uses terrain shaping, spatial planes and dynamic planting to create a sense of depth and connection with the landscape. Elegant yet natural, the garden changes with the seasons, and carefully planned planting of shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses and trees creates a variety of spaces. The design keeps long open views into the surrounding landscape, while hedges along selected edges screen unwanted views. Paths are set discreetly into the garden as stepping stones in the lawn, and the whole creates the feeling of a tended yet natural landscape.
