House garden Am Heidetor

Lost Paradise

An enigmatic orange glass wall forms the central element in this house garden. "lost paradise" is written on it - and the visitor to the garden will look around to see if he will find the lost paradise here. Outside the property, at any rate, there is still nothing to be seen of the Garden of Eden: here, a flat planting of sloes protects against unwanted glimpses. Along the walkway, the privacy screen to the garden is supplemented by a wall of perforated sheeting. A bamboo hedge forms the spatial conclusion between terrace and garden. And in front of it stands the luminous glass wall. The horizontal counterpole is a concrete seat block in front, from which a flowering dogwood grows. The front garden consists of a gravel surface in which plant islands of grasses and willows extend. Stepping stones allow one to walk around the residence. A red maple serves as a house tree, it is located in a bed at the street, which is continued towards the house entrance with perennials and boxwoods. When the house tree and glass wall are indirectly illuminated at night, the lost paradise seems to have been found again.
