Traumhaus mit Nussbaum Furnier

Schorn & Groh GmbH

Fast 700 m² hochwertiges Nussbaum-Furnier verleihen den Innenräumen des exklusiven Karlsruher Einfamilienhauses eine wohnliche Behaglichkeit. In der Planungsphase besuchten Architekt Jörg Dettling und Schreiner Martin Fuchs gemeinsam das Furnierlager in Karlsruhe, um einen passenden Stamm nach ihren Vorstellungen auszusuchen. Sie entschieden sich für einen Nussbaumstamm mit sehr guter Innenausbauqualität. Der Stamm überzeugte mit einer sehr geraden, gleichmäßigen Struktur, ohne Äste und Verwachsungen. Die Furniere sind mindestens 2,60m lang, der Bildaufbau wirkt schlank und die Pakete haben eine einheitliche dunkelbraune Farbe. Eine besondere Herausforderung bei der Verarbeitung des Nussbaum-Stammes stellte der Küchenhochschrank mit einer Wandabwicklung um zwei Ecken dar, sowie die Verkleidung der Galeriebrüstung, die auf einer Länge von 8,50m längs furniert wurde. Das Einfamilienhaus mit integrierter Praxis vereint Wohnen, Arbeiten, Zusammenleben, Rückzug und Wandel unter einem markanten Dach. Um die großzügige Wirkung der Räume zu unterstreichen, wurden nur wenige, hochwertige und warme Materialien verwendet. Die Kombination aus Schiefer, Nussbaumholz und leuchtend weißem Putz verleihen eine wohnliche Behaglichkeit. Architekt Dettling legte bei der Planung des Hauses Wert darauf, dass die Familie genügend Raum für die gemeinsame Zeit und gleichzeitig Freiraum zur individuellen Entfaltung hat. Raumhohe Verglasungen lassen viel Licht in das Gebäude und verleihen dem Innenraum eine luftige Großzügigkeit. Das Wohn- und Praxishaus mit seinem wellenförmigen Dach und Schwimmteich ist eine herrliche Oase für Vier. Fotos: D. Vieser

Side Yard Pool Design Ideas with Decking

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
