Visually striking aquatic backyard in The Netherlands

Highly modern and visually intriguing, this aquatic yard is a one-of-a-kind contemporary oasis envisioned by Dutch studio Centric Design Group for the owners of a coastal villa in The Netherlands. The place features a generous swimming pool with a fountain, an outdoor lounge area, a jacuzzi and shower cabins, all surrounded by tall green walls that ensure privacy.

The design of this unusual aquatic backyard is defined by concrete and wood, which create an interesting color contrast with the blue water of the swimming pool.

If there was one thing I would add to this visual mix, it would be more green. Wouldn’t it feel more invigorating to have a terrace covered with grass, rather than concrete?
