Der harmonische Familiengarten mit Freiraum für Events aller Art wirkt großzügig und offen. Mit den vielen kleinen Sitznischen werden die Räume intensiv erlebbar und verstärken so das Gefühl der Vielseitigkeit. Die Lounge als regensicherer Ruhepool schafft ganzjährig Wohnlichkeit. Eine oft gehörte Antwort alter Bekannter: Euer Garten ist viel größer geworden. Bereits beim Öffnen der Haustür geht der Blick des Besuchers auf den Überlauf im Naturpool. Auch wenn das Projekt eher wie ein Schwimmteich wirkt, da es eine bepflanzte Zone gibt, handelt es sich hier um einen Naturpool, denn die Pflanzen tragen nicht zur Wasseraufbereitung und -reinigung bei. Der Teich, ausgeführt als Naturpool steht im Mittelpunkt. Trotzdem bleiben Spielflächen für die Kinder und ein überdachter Loungebereich für die Eltern mit Blick auf Haus und Pool. Ein Ort, um abends mit einem Glas Wein den anstrengenden Tag Revue passieren zu lassen und sich über die vielen Fragen im beruflichen Tagesgeschäft auszutauschen. Auf eine Versiegelung der Flächen wurde weitgehend verzichtet. Die Farbwahl wurde auf den modernen Hausklinker abgestimmt, der spiegelbildlich auch die Rückwand am Ende des Grundstücks im Loungebereich verkleidet.

The owner converted the formerly listed mansion in a suburban district of Vienna with great attention to detail. From the outset, a Natural Pool was planned on this property that which was completely redesigned. A guest or bath house was also built and the natural pool is situated between this and the main house: it is over 341m². Tasteful details such as a stone plateau for entry and stepping stones that appear to be floating weightlessly on the water surface, give the pool a very special appeal. An inviting landscape of several areas for resting and sun bathing with elegant seating and sun beds rounds off the stunning location. BIOTOP Landschaftsgestaltungs GmbH

Contemporary Garden with a Pond Ideas and Designs

A beautifully designed contemporary garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

How do I come up with a contemporary front garden design?

The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your contemporary front garden design.

How should I design my contemporary back garden?

Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design.

How do I create a low maintenance garden?

The great news is, gardens aren’t exclusively for the green-fingered. Whether you’re not horticulturally-inclined or simply don’t have the time for a bit of landscape gardening, you can still have a contemporary garden design that looks the way you want by making some smart design choices. While many of us favour low maintenance gardens like urban gardens, roof terraces and patio gardens, lovers of greenery don’t need to sacrifice grass for paving slabs. Whatever you want from your garden, there are a variety of gardening solutions that can be built in to make life easier. For example, labour intensive features such as vegetable patches, greenhouses and flower beds can be optimised with an automatic irrigation system. These can be offset with fuss-free garden ideas such as hard landscaping, including gravel, paving or decking, and hard-wearing evergreens that require minimal upkeep. You might even consider replacing your garden fencing with slow growing hedging, which can be maintained less regularly than wooden fence panels. If having a lawn is important, there are different types of grasses in varying degrees of durability and maintenance. You may choose to take a more relaxed approach to your lawn – “wild” garden designs can have great charm if the grasses and flowers are chosen carefully. If you prefer a manicured lawn, it’s a good idea to invest in a “mulching” lawn mower that will recycle clippings and remove the need for cleaning up. Finally, there isn’t a more low maintenance garden lawn than artificial grass which can look highly realistic and keep your garden looking green. Garden ornaments are a great way to add interest to your low maintenance garden design – go for smart garden ideas such as solar garden lights which are both decorative and functional.
