The house, the tea house and the possible lookout building form a unit with the garden.

This is the main idea of ​​the Japanese garden. The garden and the buildings complement each other by taking full advantage of the plot, and in the Japanese view they cannot be interpreted without each other, which is why the amount spent on building real estate in Japan already includes the cost of building the gardens.

Gardening in Japan

Building a Japanese garden that harmonizes with the house can account for up to 20 percent of the total investment. The garden is designed together with the property, the two are treated as a whole. The garden is an extension of the house, part of the living room. By becoming part of the residence, it can be enjoyed all year round. From the best point of view, the warmth of the home provides an experience for the viewer even in winter.

Traditional Japanese garden

The window opening of the house to the garden is like looking through a painting. This is how the Japanese garden becomes a three-dimensional gardening painting. The “face” of the garden, i.e. the most beautiful and expressive side, is always visible from the house. In addition, of course, other parts of the garden should also enchant the visitor: they are called the faces and necks of the garden.

The Japanese garden provided a unique experience

When we build a Japanese garden, we are actually creating a three-dimensional world of “garden painting”. The proportions and dimensions of the garden and the house must be created in a ratio of 1 / 3-2 / 3 in all directions. This is an eternal ratio that we must maintain during maintenance work, primarily by regulating vegetation. Otherwise, our “painting” becomes distorted, disproportionate.
