This generous 615-square-meter garden in Vijfhuizen used to belong to a freestanding house, but the outdoor space had lost its balance. While the previous owners clearly loved plants, the garden had become dense and difficult to use without structure. The design approach was to restore calm, openness, and a clear purpose to the space.
The garden is now organized into a series of zones. The area close to the house is reserved for cooking, dining, and playing table tennis. A central lavender path guides movement through the garden toward the rear gate and parking area. Further inside, a pergola with a sitting area provides shade and the option of a canopy or climbing plants over time.
A gravel fire pit area with a swing bench creates a relaxed atmosphere in the evening, and raised vegetable beds beside the garden house encourage experimentation. Practical features, such as a cat-safe boundary, allow for carefree and comfortable enjoyment of the garden.
And that’s how it looked before :
