This book portrays the historic estate of La Gara in Jussy near Geneva and its 18th-century garden. The buildings have been restored by Swiss architect Verena Best, who has complemented them with harmonious interior architectural interventions. The gardens have been subtly reinterpreted in a contemporary manner by renowned Belgian landscape architect Erik Dhont, featuring a palindromic hedge maze designed by Swiss artist Markus Raetz. Anette Freytag has closely followed the transformation of La Gara in recent years. Her own contributions, along with those of her co-authors, explore the history of the estate and various aspects of the restoration of buildings and gardens, including the historical irrigation system and carp ponds, as well as contemporary landscape interventions.
