A family country house in Picardy, set in a landscape of hills and valleys.

A multi-purpose garden overlooking the property, suitable for use in all seasons. The swimming pool in summer for the children, dinners on the terrace in the evening, large open spaces for lying on the grass or playing ball.

​

The garden has been completely redesigned, combining the small scale of the garden with that of the surrounding “grand landscape” through new framing and viewpoints.

A swimming pool was created along with retaining walls made from stone recovered on site. Numerous shrub and perennial beds punctuate the whole, concealing a parking area or embellishing the edges of the terrace. The existing fence was removed and replaced with a simpler, more rustic fence.
