Landscaping of a provencal panoramic view point garden

This belvedere garden is entirely structured around the magnificent panorama it offers over the landscapes of Provence Verte and the Verdon Regional Natural Park. The existing olive grove has been preserved. A rectangular swimming pool was created parallel to the house.

The lawn side

On one side of this pool, a slab lawn creates a fresh and soft beach, from which to enjoy the view of both the contemporary farmhouse and the surrounding landscape.

The wooden terrace side

On the other, a warm wooden terrace responds to the existing travertine terrace, positioned above. Two large planters in Var stone framing a wide wooden staircase allow for a distinctive transition between these two spaces.

Plants with a countryside feel

Various plants have been planted in these planters, creating a rural atmosphere. Yarrow, grasses, agapanthus, verbena, gauras... bloom there from spring to autumn. These plants dance in the breeze, giving the garden movement and lightness.

The landscape designer's eye

Roller shutters are a very reliable safety feature and also help reduce water cooling during the night, despite their lack of aesthetics when rolled up at the end of the pool.

The pool was fitted with a submerged beach incorporating a roller shutter. Thanks to this technical trick, once open, the roller shutter is completely invisible.
