The rainy weather was not the only challenge confronting Kristina Heinrichs in building this natural pool. To compensate for the enormous height differential in the terrain, the natural pool expert from Gartenhof Küsters had to terrace the surrounding area to create a comfortable and attractive access from the house to the pool. The task comprised both the natural pool and the architectural design of the entire garden, which was to complement the modern but inviting design of the house, besides taking account of the wishes of the owners as well as five children in their teens and twenties. Now the garden offers a variety of places for spending time and relaxing, according to each user: shady spots under trees, lawns for picnic blankets, a wooden deck for sun bathing, and isolated seating away from the madding crowd. All of this convinced the jury that awarded the project first place – and it was almost predestined for it to win: After initial planning talks in the garden Kristina Heinrichs found a ceramic frog with a golden crown – quite similar to the Design Frog itself. (It’s a sign!)
