Overlooking Lake Zurich in Switzerland, Enea Landscape enhances an outdoor terrace for a family with children aimed to transform this landscape into a premium space enjoyable for all.
The key of this landscape was to forge a contemporary, cohesive environment that capitalized on the site’s assets of expansive windows providing sweeping views of the terrace, extending the family’s living quarters outdoors, while strategic barriers and vegetation ensured seclusion where necessary.
Within the gardens, evergreen yew hedges formed a natural boundary and obscured nearby structures while still providing enough privacy to maintain views to the water.
In addition to the formal hedges, Japanese Maples were positioned to accentuate the stunning vistas and add enchanting accents and provide various canopies in the sky – shielding the dining zone from brisk evening breezes.
Nearby, a secluded outdoor eating spot with kitchen table and wooden chairs was set amidst the greenery, providing a peaceful retreat to savor the scenery.
This transformation led to a versatile terrace that ingeniously integrated diverse components with different programmatic functions in a small space.
The terrace, designed by Enea Landscape, was thoughtfully divided into areas for eating and unwinding, maximizing both functionality and ease.
One of the main features contained within this garden is a striking water feature, which introduces a peaceful element to space, enhancing the overall landscape appeal and serene environment.
To provide an entertaining area for the family, an outdoor kitchen was adeptly situated for convenience against a backdrop of charming bamboo grass, which radiated calmness and a hospitable vibe.
Groundcover species like purple top vervain, fountain grass, and grand panicle hydrangeas were picked for their aesthetic appeal and seasonal variation.
