The elongated garden is located on the slope of America Mountain. The height difference between the two ends is about 20 meters. The house is in the middle of the property. So not an obvious starting point to make this a coherent whole! Partly because the building owner likes formal gardens and wants complete privacy. In such a landscape context, a challenge. Consequently, the design presents a balance between the desired security in the formal area and the necessary openness to preserve the view of the landscape and integrate the garden with its surrounding landscape. These two different experiences provide residents with a great quality of life. They can see everything there without being seen themselves.
