Timber pergola as a functional garden boundary in Wildhaus in the Toggenburg.

The project

In the Toggenburg, in Wildhaus, a bespoke timber pergola took shape that unites function and design. It draws a clear line between garden and pasture without losing the connection to the surrounding landscape and its animals.

Around the integrated pool, a sheltered outdoor space emerges that combines privacy and openness. The finely articulated timber structure gives the garden a clear order and creates a pleasant atmosphere to linger in.

Glimpses

Pool integrated into the setting next to the timber pergola in the garden. Timber structure of the pergola forming the boundary towards the adjoining pasture. Detail of the timber slats that allow closeness yet still form an edge. Sheltered outdoor space under the pergola with a view into the Toggenburg landscape.
