Designing a Private Garden

Garden

Overview

A private client commissioned this project to redesign and expand an existing garden into a newly acquired area within the historical part of Battenberg. The property, nestled along the edge of the historic city wall, offers breathtaking views of the expansive valley. To enhance comfort and relaxation, we incorporated various lawns, a swimming pool, and tall plants near the walls to ensure privacy.


Additionally, we designed and adapted the outdoor spaces to harmonize with the garden, maintaining a cohesive and consistent look across the entire property.
