“The original idea was to make water the defining element of the terraced house garden.”

— Jan Vandebotermet

Instead of a lawn, a formal swimming pond dominates the scene – with a swimming zone and a regeneration zone, 2 m deep at its deepest point and, thanks to a counter-current system, suitable for real swimming. An Ipe timber jetty, warm sandstone and exotic-looking plants – even an enclosed windmill palm – create a holiday feel.
