Private garden, Tutzing

With plateaus on different levels connected by lawn steps, the private garden on a slope blends visually into the surrounding landscape and is a versatile space for the residents.

The plot on which the house and garden are located is steeply sloping and has a total height difference of 10.00 meters. The terrain is modeled as a stepped lawn slope with two high plateaus. The sensitive treatment of the slope, which is typical of the area, and the free arrangement of trees and shrubs allow the property to merge with its surroundings, making it appear more spacious. As a contrast to the soft, natural forms of the slope, white concrete walls accentuate the edges and plateaus in correspondence with the shape of the house.

Appreciation in the special prize home gardenGerman Landscape Architecture Award 2009

Jury verdict: A garden on a steep slope, often enough theme in garden design, is here cleverly solved with the means of small wall walls and a curved ground modeling. As a result, the slope does not appear terraced, but rather reminiscent of the pasture hills with their stepping paths, which are typical in the area surrounding the property.

The routing is structured by well-proportioned staircases and skilfully opens up the individual levels of the property. In the choice of materials and colour, the idea of the white building cube is continued and repeated in spatial and surface elements. The design is striking for its relaxed, unpretentious approach to the task.
