The composition of the long, clean lines and large gestures contrasts with the lush nature. Floating boardwalks are positioned freely, green flows everywhere, and lines cut through the cushions of grass and the play of trunks. Nevertheless, the composition of the garden does not distract from the strength of the house's architecture, allowing the home to stand on its own in the landscape.
The materials used in this design are firm but refined. The concrete gestures with subtle finishing can age beautifully. The wooden boardwalk will age naturally into the Alder forest. The sharp steel lines define the height differences in the garden and enhance the contrast between nature and architecture. They are black coated, the same colour as the steel in the house. In this way, the garden subtly responds to the house.
As mentioned, the whole house is lifted above the landscape and lies on a mound. The house is almost separate from its environment. This suggestion of detachment has been strengthened by putting the whole house in a field of grasses. The monolith of black steel, black-stained wood and large mirrored windows that catch the sky lies in a soft cushion of ornamental grass that constantly changes colour, texture and volume throughout the seasons and captures the weather.
Filtered light in the evening, dew in the early morning, wind on a turbulent day and frost in the winter are captured in the field of grasses and create a poetic feeling of one's place in the landscape.
