Garden in Radotin, Prague 5

The flat plot with a long driveway naturally transitions into a forest at the back of the garden. The main highlight of the garden is a spacious terrace with a wellness zone, which, thanks to a canopy, offers a pleasant retreat not only on hot summer days. The terrace is level with the interior of the house, effectively extending the living space with an additional "room."

Adjacent to the terrace are beds filled with grasses, perennials, and bulbs, providing color and texture from spring through winter. A few steps lead to the wellness zone, featuring a pool, hot tub, and outdoor shower, all seamlessly integrated into modern paving. At the back of the garden, there is a firepit with stylish concrete furniture, where the owners can enjoy views of the house and garden.

A practical feature is a guest house with a green roof, providing comfortable accommodation for visitors. Narrow areas around the house are utilized for raised beds and a compost bin.

The long driveway, made of grass-paving blocks, improves water retention and prevents runoff. For ease of vehicle maneuvering, the paving transitions into durable perennial beds that can withstand short-term loads. Playfully arranged concrete stepping stones create paths throughout the garden.

Fences and Lighting

The garden is divided using various types of fencing – from solid wooden screens in the back, semi-transparent louvered fences, to lightweight mesh towards the forest. Lighting is managed by a smart system, allowing individual circuits to be controlled via an app.

What Grows Here

Mulching with gravel and bark ensures low maintenance and enhances the aesthetics of more than 250 m² of garden beds. Plants such as serviceberries and fruit espalier not only complement the garden visually but also provide harvests and privacy. Climbing plants soften the fences along the driveway.

The garden offers daily enjoyment for both family and guests, excellently blending modern technologies with untamed nature.
