Nestled at the edge of a forest and the coastal dunes leading to the beach, this private villa in northern Poland enjoys a truly exceptional setting. The Baltic climate is unpredictable, with strong winds especially in winter, demanding landscape solutions that are both robust and refined. The client envisioned an intimate and elegant outdoor retreat that would harmonize with the natural surroundings and remain functional year-round. The priority was to select cold-resistant plants that retain their beauty with minimal maintenance while enhancing the sense of exclusivity.

To ensure year-round enjoyment of the garden, a glass pergola with a black metal frame was installed. This architectural element provides shelter from rain, wind, and humidity, allowing outdoor living even in harsh weather. Its transparent design preserves visual connection with the surrounding nature, while its structural strength makes it a stylish and practical refuge.

The pergola houses a dining and lounge area with outdoor furniture—perfect for family gatherings, open-air dinners, or quiet moments overlooking the forest and sea.

The botanical selection includes hardy hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, evergreen structural plants, and species adapted to salty coastal winds. These plants offer texture, colour, and movement throughout the seasons, with low maintenance and high resilience.

A strategically placed circular fire pit creates a warm and inviting space for enjoying starry nights outdoors. This area blends functionality and atmosphere, becoming a serene gathering point perfectly integrated into the forest setting.

The rectangular pool features a decorative waterfall that doubles as a natural massage element. Surrounded by lush vegetation and ceramic vases, it evokes the feel of a private spa immersed in nature. Its organic design reinforces the connection to the landscape and adds visual and sensory freshness—even in the warmest months.

Elegant decorative vases are strategically placed throughout the garden, adding a refined touch to the overall composition. These elements not only beautify the space but also reinforce the villa’s identity as a personalized and exclusive oasis.

This project showcases how landscape design can meet the challenges of a cold, windy coastal climate without compromising on beauty or functionality. The glass pergola, perennial vegetation, and architectural features allow the garden to be enjoyed year-round—even in demanding weather conditions.

A secluded oasis by the Baltic Sea that blends resilience, beauty, and exclusivity, designed to provide well-being and a deep connection with nature throughout the year. This landscape design is ideal for clients from Northern Europe, including Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Central European countries, seeking aesthetic and functional solutions tailored to cold, windy coastal climates.
