Black Barn House Eco-Garden
Modern and natural garden
Location: Kokkola
Year: 2016
Size: approx. 2000 m²
A black Scandinavian-style house that blends seamlessly into Finnish nature was surrounded by a stunning garden, where a significant portion of the yard was covered with forest floor vegetation (kuntta).
The design prioritized low-maintenance solutions and autumn colors, using shrubs and perennials that not only offer beautiful blossoms but also develop striking fall foliage. The selection of different leaf greens and striped varieties in the shrubbery adds unique visual appeal to the planting groups.
The garden is minimalist and serves as a great example of a clean-lined Scandinavian landscape. A continuous lawn extends through the central courtyard, while a kitchen garden is placed opposite the residential building to define the space.
A pergola, designed as a framed space divider, sits on the Kebony-wood terrace. The living room window offers a tranquil yet striking view of the garden—a small kuntta area enhanced with coastal wheatgrass and natural stones for added character.
This garden is harmonious, low-maintenance, clear, functional, and an inviting space for the whole family.
