HELLO CLIENT, KINDLY READ THROUGH THE BRIEF DESCRIPTION PROVIDED SO AS TO UNDERSTAND
MY IDEA AND APPROACH TOWARDS THIS LANDSCAPE
A nice project and a challenging one too.
YOU ASKED SOME QUESTIONS, AND HERE ARE MY ANSWERS.
Q. 1. IS POOL TOO BIG?
ANS: Yes, i think the present pool was a little too big, as it didn't give enough space for a garden. but generally,
it was a lovely design.
Q. 2. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A GARDEN?
ANS: Yes, in the area where the present lawn is located, or alternatively where the seating area on the present
design is, but this isn't the most preferred option.
MY GOALS.
1. PROVIDE A GARDEN, WHICH I HAVE,
2. ADD ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR DECKED PATIO AREA,
3. GIVE 10m FOR SWIMMING
4. TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO RETAIN A FLOW IN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN
MY APPROACH.
With the limited documents provided for the design, i scaled said documents to acquire all necessary dimensions.
I tried to flow with the initial concept adopted by the previous designer, and see how i could add and omit where necessary.
---the sunk-in-seat area for the swimming pool was reduced to gain more space for the present garden area,
---the longer swimming pool area was reduced as well to provide more space for the patio/relaxation area
---a dining area was added
---planters with rectilinear forms and of different sizes where used to complement the contemporary style of the building, with straight lines and edges.
---i decided to leave the already existing seating area at it's location and convert it to a patio which is (optional). Reason i left it at that area was to maintain a flow with the outdoor kitchen, "proposed outdoor dining" and the "patio".
---i tried to keep the design simple, unique and homely.
PLEASE NOTE;
ALL PLANTS USED IN THE DESIGN CAN BE CHANGED AND ALTERED DEPENDING ON YOUR CHOICE OF VEGETATION, WHAT I USED WAS AN ADOPTION TO SEE WHAT THE GARDEN WOULD LOOK LIKE, IF I CHOSE THE PLANTS.
DETAILED LAYOUT OF THE GARDEN WITH THE FEATURES, ARRANGEMENTS, AS WELL AS THE NECESSARY DIMENSIONS CAN BE FOUND ON THE "CALL OUT GARDEN" .PDF FILE ATTACHED
i hope you love it.
BEST REGARDS,
OCHE BEST.
