Hello dear forum,
my name is Alex and after quietly following the discussions for some time, I have finally decided to register here. Since my single-family house is already in the shell phase and we plan to move in on April 1, 2020, we are currently thinking about a practical and stylish design for the outdoor area...
our main concern is the positioning of the terrace, which should face more towards the main garden instead of the direction shown in the plan.
The next question is how large the terrace should be. There should also be enough space later for a pool.
Since the house already has clear, simple lines, I want the garden design to be a bit more daring. That means that more playful shapes and softer forms could be integrated here. So far, we have not been satisfied with the proposals from the local landscape designers.

I would really appreciate your tips and suggestions.
Best regards
Alex

I just like it when there’s no chlorine smell. ...you said yourself that only happens when you pee?!

Too cold for sensitive people since it’s not supposed to be heated. I had forgotten that, and as someone who feels the cold really badly, that would definitely be a deal breaker for me...
Okay, non-heatable, that’s definitely a valid argument. But for me, that would be a deal-breaker anyway. I tend to find that most pools get too warm in summer, and when it’s still cool outside and the pool stays cold, I don’t really feel like swimming outdoors. In winter, I’d rather use a hot tub.

Or should it be a natural swimming pond (which I would prefer)?
...In your opinion, how large should a natural swimming pond be? I’m asking because I’d like to consider your previous suggestion as inspiration for our garden.P
