A narrow, geometrically structured row-house garden (7 m x 7 m = 49 sq m) in a densely built-up area bordered by high building facades. The garden concept may also be perceived from the upper floor and from the rooftop garden.
The evergreen hedges were structured in stair-stepped heights and layers. They surround the garden on each side. In this way, they promote the impression of an enclosed green space, and create the desired privacy to the neighbors on both sides. The different height levels before and in the hedge walls play with the idea of depth. Doing this rids them of an otherwise massive and rigid wall effect.
The light-colored waves of the cobbling define the living area. The grounds follow the slanting, angular floor plan of the garden. Thus, the utmost degree of possible spatial depth was maintained, and even highlighted, via the diagonals starting from the terrace door.
The consistent parallelism of all spatial boundaries with borders of the property creates a strong graphic impression, whose character may be clearly witnessed in particular from the rooftop garden.
Diverse kinds of shade perennials with light leaf colors create a quiet background. The different levels of the block hedges at the same time constitute natural positions for indirect lighting provided by a sparse number of spotlights.
