Contemporary Garden by Eckersley Garden Architecture

Designed by Eckersley Garden Architecture, nestled amongst large native trees, clean and simple of Garden Architecture. The brief for this garden came from a young active family who love to entertain and didn’t want to spend all of their spare time slaving in the garden. A new pool was also an important inclusion for the fast growing tribe of kids. The result is a contemporary garden which extends the strong lines of the architecture into the garden and then softens them with carefully sited plantings. Material choices are also sympathetic to the neutral tones of the house – muted greys of pebble seeded aggregate and weathered timber all work easily in the space.

Indoor and Outdoor Swimming Pool Design by Zechner & Zechner Zt Gmbh

December 13, 2009 By: Category: Architecture

From Architects :” The goal was to provide the maximum exposure for the swimming hall to the external environment. The hall was designed as a perfect square, featuring separate areas for the different functions of the building. A glass roof gives the impression of swimming under the open sky. The ‚theatre set architecture“ of today’s recreational buildings has been intentionally avoided. Over the whole glassed southern facade, the indoor pool area opens onto a large open space with outdoor activitiy areas and a lake. ” Design by Zechner & Zechner Zt Gmbh.
