Swimming Pool - Basins - Contemporary gardens

Above the house are flat areas. Access is via a long concrete path running the length of a dark pool whose stone coping is flush with the grass. The area below the house is dominated by slopes, right down to the lake, which is reached by a steep path bordered by straw-coloured grasses beneath tall oak trees. The ground becomes flat again at the beach by the swimming pool, whose smooth waters blend with the horizon on the lake.
