Design and nature united – nature garden in the Eifel

On a seemingly endless, slightly sloped plot of land in the Eifel; a modern house is to be built, complete with suitable outdoor facilities. The primary focus is on incorporating the expansive view of the Eifel and its forests, a stable for the client’s horses and respecting the importance of nature in regeneration and well-being.

The architect contacted us during the planning phase because he wanted an expert partner for this complex project. The aim was to create unity between the modern architecture and wider landscape without any visual limitations. The connection to nature must be present, without losing a sense of security in the vastness. This was achieved in the transition from the building to the garden – a modern outdoor design in the vastness of the Eifel.

High quality construction

Only highly qualified specialists were employed for the construction. Machines were used for specific tasks and always alongside manual labour.

The soil was extensively prepared with lava sand and compost to improve the poor, stony earth of the Eifel and promote the healthy, long-term growth of the garden. This ensured water would be absorbed and stored and improve the oxygen supply in the soil. We took the excavated material from the construction of the house, processed it and used it as a substructure to shape the terrain.

Perfect proportions; invisible transitions between different areas; stable rocks; and expertly selected and cared for plants ensure lasting enjoyment for decades – quality that pays off.
