The robust, simple design reflects the distinctive timber and glass of the Huf Haus architecture. The contemporary design permeates the immediate garden spaces – patterned granite paving, a formal water filled canal, garden division screen and timber walkways. The building creates a retaining element across the site allowing relatively level garden spaces. A curving timber decked ramp links front to rear garden areas and a linear water feature separates a paved area from the formal lawn. |
A small waterfall issues from beneath the ramp with subtle lighting. A prominent stairway from a first floor balcony extends via a dark granite bridge over the water focusing on a foaming water fountain beyond. The garden extends to form a boundary with a local wildlife sanctuary and the transition from the hard, clean formal lines of the garden around the house dissolve into a wetland garden with willows and meandering timber walkway. |
