Parkland Flood Resilient House
Parkland Flood Resilient House
neil designneil design
The Parkland House is located in an existing flood zone, and the spaces under the existing home and extension are at risk of flooding. Finishes throughout have been selected for their flood resilience, and the spaces have been designed with ease of recovery in mind. The family pass through the secure central stair daily to access the garage, laundry and garden spaces. The battens and breeze blocks allow cooling breezes to pass through the stair, and filter through the undercroft spaces. In the event of a flood, the permeable and flood resilient construction will allow water to freely exit the spaces.

Véritable miroir des toits des Hospices de Beaune, ancré entre tradition et modernité, ce jardin est une transposition de la trame losangée et colorée des tuiles vernissées des toits polychromes emblématiques des lieux. Les Simples, plantes traditionnelles à vocation médicinale et aromatique côtoient des végétaux typiques des jardins contemporains et naturalistes qui contribuent aujourd'hui à la préservation et à l'épanouissement de la biodiversité.

Client requested a front yard curb appeal project. They were sick of the heavy, over-crowed landscaping that was installed by the builder years ago and wanted a fresh and modern design that wasn't crowded, provided lots of colored foliage, and was low maintenance. We removed a queen palm that was on top of the existing triple palm and added an amazing boulder at the front entrance.

Piscine, terrasse, et jardin à Saint-Cloud
Piscine, terrasse, et jardin à Saint-Cloud
simonson landscapesimonson landscape
Situé sur la colline de Saint-Cloud, cette demeure résolument contemporaine, flanquée d’une piscine sur mesure en construction, donne sur le paysage urbain de Paris. Comme une extension de la maison, la terrasse dialogue avec l’espace intérieur par sa forme et par les matériaux utilisés : un salon extérieur minimaliste prolonge l’espace intime du salon intérieur. Les baies vitrées donnent donc à la fois sur la ville et sur un surprenant jardin aux multiples facettes, selon la direction où le regard se porte. Le jardin est structuré selon l’ensoleillement plus ou moins important du terrain. Là où le sol est humide et parfois ombragé, une végétation exotique a naturellement trouvé sa place. Des plantes aux larges feuilles donnent au jardin un aspect sauvage, tout comme le jeu sur les hauteurs variées des arbres et arbustes. Là où le soleil est davantage présent se trouvent des plantes xérophiles. Un mélange de textures et de formes créent des contrastes forts qui donnent du caractère à l’ensemble. C’est également l’effet voulu grâce au camaïeu de vert, des couleurs claires des yuccas rostrata, nolinas, eucalyptus, senecios... tranchant avec des verts plus profonds. La fontaine qui jouxte la piscine, véritable refuge pour les insectes et les oiseaux, est entourée d’une végétation plus rustique évoquant les zones humides naturelles. Reflet de la singularité de cette maison d’architecte, le jardin compte plusieurs arbres et vivaces rares.

Contemporary Garden with a Rockery 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.
