The garden is designed for an existing late 19th century cottage-style building, a quaint fairy-tale cottage surrounded by pine forest, and typical of its time in a dune area. The location, the topography, the existing trees, the erosion of the dune and, of course, the lifestyle of the owners determined the conceptual layout of the site. The front garden of the building has been designed in a functional way, with solid planting groups that are clear in form and with an ever-changing framework, rich in contrasts of flower and foliage colours - a slope created by the terrain, which encloses the backyard garden in an almost perfectly semicircular form. The slope's intensive, restrained ornamental groundcover and perennial planting creates a seasonally varied and colourful 'screen' for garden users from almost any seating area in the backyard lawn, which contrasts with the texture of the slope. While in the backyard garden the planting assortment consists of 3 plants - mountain pine, bright rockrose and hydrangea 'Bobo', which in combination with the dark brown clinker parquet flooring are in dialogue with the architecture, in the hillside garden a large variety of understorey perennials and woody plants provide a seasonally changing screen. The paths integrated into the slope are connected to the network of paths of the pine forest in the dune area, planned as a future garden of art and environmental objects with unexpected elements of surprise and magic of the moment integrated in a restrained way into the environment. The existing woodland area is maintained and cared for, preventing the spread of certain invasive species and providing attractive viewpoints and pleasant walks.
