Level Up is a reconstruction of an existing area with its centuries-old trees, special topography, and proximity to a waterbody. The area's hilly terrain influenced the arrangement of the pedestrian descents and became a self-sufficient element of garden design.
We seamlessly wove the functional areas into the site landscape with clean, concise lines. We arranged a heated playhouse that overhangs among the trees. A spacious swing was hidden in the forest. We remade an old gazebo in a new material: the metal frame as the body, and frameless walls are made of glass.
It was designed against IN → EX principle: if its walls are moved apart, the gazebo will become a harmonious part of the outdoor space. The roof is adorned with a layer of greenery that cascades elegantly onto the transparent walls. A vegetable garden with an automatic irrigation system runs along the ramps. We also took giant juniper bushes to the plot; they wonderfully complemented the existing greenery and added harmonious volume. The granite-paved long walkways are dotted with boulders in a Scandinavian aesthetic.
The multifunctional bench by the hearth warrants special attention. In one respect, it serves as a retaining wall and supports the soil; on the other, it also serves as a secret storage spot where the essential items for a cozy evening are hidden.
