GARDEN IN
A CLASSIC FRAMEWORK

A story of a refined, elegant, and beautiful garden in Jūrmala, where elements of a classic English garden form a harmonious union with modern solutions and plant combinations. Within this classic framework, the garden is divided into several functional spaces. Each of these spaces, like chapters in a book, has its own role, reflecting the homeowners' feelings about the garden and life. And just like in a book, as you turn one page after another, the story of the garden becomes increasingly captivating.

Introduction – At the front of the building, the first impression of the environment and the garden is crafted by a striking entrance portal with monumental stone steps. Opposite the steps lies a granite-paved area, showcasing a Lutyens-designed bench. The area is flanked on both sides by plantings, enhanced by multi-stem specimen trees. The precise, sculpted forms of the plants in the beds offer a hint of what lies deeper within the garden.
 
Splendor – Seasonally changing perennial and grass plantings are framed by a network of walkways. These paths feature large, light concrete slabs bordered by fine granite edges and accented with specific areas. Within the plantings, groups of flowers and airy grasses playfully interact with carefully pruned Western arborvitae, evergreen boxwood spheres, and low hedges that emphasize the garden's geometric lines. To better showcase the beauty of the plants and the spatial dimensions, the beds are designed as mounds, reflecting the natural dune landscape of the seaside environment. During the evening, small spotlights illuminate the beds, creating a mood and maintaining a sense of space within the garden.
 
Intrigue and Adventure – With each step through the garden, the surrounding space transforms. Expansive views give way to substantial plantings. A play area transitions into a Forest Path, leading to a Tea House, from which an impressive and elegant wooden pergola emerges. This pergola visually closes off the courtyard, separating the forest from the expansive lawn and creating a long axis. At one end of the axis is a romantic water basin, while at the other, a place for an art object awaits.

​ The garden zone for the family's young ones, Playtime – is situated in a spot easily visible from the kitchen window. A small lawn circle is surrounded by airy clouds of perennials and grasses, interwoven with lawn paths. In this sunny clearing, a ground-level sunken trampoline has found its place, while the lawn offers freedom for a wide range of children's activities.

Reflection – A place in the garden where one can read a book on a rainy day, sip tea, or enjoy the reflection in a water mirror while savoring the rhythms of nature. The existing wooden tea house is integrated into the new garden concept. Mirroring its contours, a paved area in an octagonal shape is created in front of it. At the center of this area lies a low, massive granite water basin.
 
The White Garden and Grill Hut – Located on the opposite side of the large lawn by the house, this functional garden zone is ideal for everyday enjoyment and gatherings, whether intimate or larger. The grill hut is accompanied by a terrace with comfortable outdoor furniture and a fire table. A short distance from the terrace is the "White Garden," featuring a small bench shaded by an apple tree and a view of a modern kitchen garden.
 
Garden Features – Continuing the garden's geometric, classic structure, the kitchen garden fits seamlessly into the overall concept. An English-style greenhouse, regularly grouped raised herb beds, fruit trellises, vine obelisks, a wooden bench, terracotta pots, and a winding granite path integrate with loose-surface areas. The classic layout is enhanced with modern, industrial touches, such as concrete used for the herb beds and elevated greenhouse foundations.
 
The garden, in all its splendor, vividly reflects the essence of the homeowners—beauty, order, and attention to detail, functionality and harmony, all underpinned by the celebration of life and heartfelt togetherness.
