Architecture and Garden Design

Architecture and Garden Design can and should go hand in hand. Inspiration between house and garden may or may not be obvious but can enhance the overall design. The identical photographs above attempt to illustrate this connection. The architect is Dutch and therefore I attempted a Dutch connection by using planting materials commonly seen in Holland. The inverted angle in the beech hedge purposefully reflects the roof line. The hedging on the roof also extends the architectural line, completing a composition that meshes house and garden. The fact that this is the south face of the building makes it an extremely hot area in high  summer.
