Das ruhig gelegene Haus in den Walddörfern Hamburgs sollte das neue Zuhause einer vierköpfigen Familie werden – mit seiner ursprünglichen Wohnfläche von 90 qm war es dazu allerdings zu klein. Unser Anbau und die energetische Sanierung des Originalhauses zielten darauf ab, mehr Platz zu schaffen und das Raumklima mithilfe einer ökologischen Dämmung zu verbessern. Die Grundstrukturen der alten Räume behielten wir bei – nur den Dachboden bauten wir zu einer gemütlichen Schlafgalerie aus. In dem neuen Anbau schafften wir ein großzügiges Badezimmer und einen offenen, hellen Eingangsbereich mit Galerie. Das Sahnehäubchen: die moderne Lärchenfassade in Kombination mit traditionellen Schwedenfenstern.

Nach einem Jahr im daurauffolgenden Sommer
Small traditional front fully shaded garden for summer in Munich with natural stone paving.

This shed has a door and a half giving an extra wide opening. Wanting extra head room inside the roof has been made steep to accommodate this. The two windows, each with one opening casement allows for plenty of ventatilation during the hot summer months! The roof has been finished with cedar shingles: all glazing is glass and the door and window furniture is black. Size: 10ft (3m) x 8ft (2.4m) Eaves height: 6ft (1.8m) Ridge height: 9ft 7in (2.9m)

Design ideas for a small contemporary front driveway garden in Bologna with a garden path.

Dee McQuillan, Ivy & Bloom A large terrace was created flowing out from the main living area with a custom built gas fireplace being the central feature. The large concrete pavers were jointed with mondo grass to provide a permeable surface and will help to soften the appearance of the terrace once they mature. A formal hedge of alder trees will provide a leafy backdrop to the garden and the fireplace. The level changes on the site allowed for a separate raised seating area to be created above the main terrace using recycled holland pavers. Another informal seating area, using peastone, was created below the terrace and borders a small productive garden and utility area. The two seating areas benefit from the shade from the mature macadamia tree (existing). The masonry wall and fireplace will be painted to match the house and the wall will be softened by plantings of dichondra 'silver falls'. Planting bays were created within (and slightly below) the terrace with bullnose pavers to soften the edge and give it a floating effect. Two feature trees, Pyrus Calleryana "Bradford" (Ornamental pear) will provide shade in summer, stunning autumn foliage and blossoms in spring. These are underplanted with pittosporum "elfin" balls and white agapanthus. The driveway extension was removed to allow for a larger lawn space. A large planting bed was created for the existing mature macadamia tree on the lawn edge. Planting under both macadamia trees included oak leaf hydrangeas, snowball and annabelle hydrangeas, burgundy and silver heucheras and white agapanthus. A stepping stone path follows the contour of the house to provide access to the driveway and will largely disappear once the dietes grandiflora mature.

Das leerstehende Gebäude des damaligen, ortsansässigen Schusters wurde mit Bedacht saniert. Die bestehende Struktur und architektonischen Elemente wurden soweit es möglich war erhalten. Dennoch sollte ein modernes Wohnen ermöglicht werden, war die Umgestaltung des Grundrisses erforderlich machte. Der Außenbezug zum großen, umliegenden Garten wurde hergestellt.
