Piscine, terrasse, et jardin à Saint-Cloud

simonson landscape

Situé sur la colline de Saint-Cloud, cette demeure résolument contemporaine, flanquée d’une piscine sur mesure en construction, donne sur le paysage urbain de Paris. Comme une extension de la maison, la terrasse dialogue avec l’espace intérieur par sa forme et par les matériaux utilisés : un salon extérieur minimaliste prolonge l’espace intime du salon intérieur. Les baies vitrées donnent donc à la fois sur la ville et sur un surprenant jardin aux multiples facettes, selon la direction où le regard se porte. Le jardin est structuré selon l’ensoleillement plus ou moins important du terrain. Là où le sol est humide et parfois ombragé, une végétation exotique a naturellement trouvé sa place. Des plantes aux larges feuilles donnent au jardin un aspect sauvage, tout comme le jeu sur les hauteurs variées des arbres et arbustes. Là où le soleil est davantage présent se trouvent des plantes xérophiles. Un mélange de textures et de formes créent des contrastes forts qui donnent du caractère à l’ensemble. C’est également l’effet voulu grâce au camaïeu de vert, des couleurs claires des yuccas rostrata, nolinas, eucalyptus, senecios... tranchant avec des verts plus profonds. La fontaine qui jouxte la piscine, véritable refuge pour les insectes et les oiseaux, est entourée d’une végétation plus rustique évoquant les zones humides naturelles. Reflet de la singularité de cette maison d’architecte, le jardin compte plusieurs arbres et vivaces rares.

Contemporary Garden Design Ideas with a Stone Fence

Get Inspired by Contemporary Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own contemporary garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Contemporary Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a contemporary garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a contemporary garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your contemporary garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
