In ‘Hillegersberg’ near the ‘Lage Bergse Bos’ and the ‘Bergse plassen’ this unique site of 1800m2 is located. At the street side of this villa one would not expect such a large garden. The height difference between the street and the villa is among 3 meters. Especially in the front garden we needed creativity to come to an atmospheric result. Our client requested parking space for at least two cars. With huge custom-made planters of Corten steel, we separated the parking area from the entrance. This created the possibility to blur the height differences. In the evening, the special designed arc lamps provide a soft oblique light over the footpath toward the entrance and give a warm appearance to the Corten steel planters. The fully automated gate is transparent and powder coated in the colour of the window frames. The basement ramp provides access to the basement parking lot. Two huge planters with multi stemmed Amelanchier ovalis adorn the entrance stairs of natural stones. At the right site of the villa a path of durable composite planks brings us, via a broad stair of concrete, to the luxurious backyard. An extraordinary infinity pool with a dark blue colour is a real eye-catcher at the centre of the backyard. Especially, the reflection of the pool house gives an awesome effect. In the pool house, built of oak and steel, we created an roofed lounge with an outdoor kitchen. Thanks to the fireplace, the residents can enjoy their lounge with family and friends until the late hours. Right-angled on the long line that optically is situated below the pool, a line of gravel is created. On both sides, at the end of this line, two 2-meter long planters of steel are placed. These planters are fabricated in a colour that fits the colours of the villa and are filled with ornamental grasses. Under the French pollarded plane trees, we situated a lovely shaded area. In this area, a modern picnic table from Extremis is located. In the spherical lamp, we integrated a speaker, which can be used by the children to listen to their favourite music. The fire bowl of Corten steel and stainless steel is designed especially for this project. To create adequate privacy we placed steel screens interspersed with traditional Dutch willows. In the evenings the strip with bulb lamps interspersed with buxus balls, gives a special atmosphere, a real eye-catcher. On the lawn, the children can kick a ball. The end result is an exceptional luxury garden with wellness facilities and international allure.
