About the Garden - Medium Garden
Feelings of weightlessness and comfort are core to the concept of this Citroën Ireland garden which provides a space to relax in peace and tranquility.
The design centres around a lounge patio which appears to float weightlessly over the garden. Enclosed within planting and cocooned by a contemporary pergola and fireplace, it reflects the ‘Flying Carpet’ feel of Citroën’s patented suspension and echoes its ‘home from home’ approach to the comfort of its interiors.
Trickling water falling into the expansive pond provides a soothing background noise, while the mixed species planting and angular sculpture walls bring depth to the space. Three multi-stem Carpinus Betulus trees add elegance, while a series of grasses such as Luzula nivea and Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’ create a relaxing whimsical feel.
This is a garden that invites you to relax and unwind as you watch the stresses of life simply float away.
