One diagonal line redefines this space, disconnecting the garden composition from its suburban fabric and steering it toward its natural surroundings.

Planting pallet connects to the wider landscape and regional ecosystem. Pines, mixed grasses and Birches define the main atmosphere, giving the yard its sense of place.

The pavilion is pushed down in the grade so its not to dominant. By doing this the space is not filled up and the visuals connection with the surrounding green is guaranteed. The zone of gravel framed by the floating concrete edges is the modern translation from a pool. A pool without the water but defining the space and creating the canvas for the pavilion. Materials used in the pavilion make a reference to the historical architecture of this region. Black stained wooden planks, as used in old sheep shelters are brought back in a contemporary way.
