Long Driveway: 800 Meters from Gate to Door

A private driveway leading from the main gate to the residence, 800 meters long, lined on both sides with neatly symmetrical avenue trees whose canopies meet overhead to form a continuous green arch. The driveway surface is gravel or compacted fine aggregate, light in color, forming a clear line with the grass on both sides. The driveway is deliberately not straight—it gently curves in the middle, so the house cannot be seen from the main gate and only becomes visible after completing the turn. There is a body of water on the inside of the curve. Early morning mist, light filtering through the tree canopies. Avoid: short or straight driveway with a clear view through, asymmetrical avenue trees, asphalt paving, fences instead of open grass on both sides.

一條從大門通往住宅的私人車道,長 800 公尺,兩側種植整齊對稱的行道樹,樹冠已在上方交會形成連續的綠拱。車道的鋪面是碎石或壓實的細礫,顏色淺,與兩側的草地形成清楚的線。車道刻意不是筆直的——它在中段緩緩轉了一個彎,因此從大門看不到房子,必須走完才看得見。轉彎處的內側有一片水面。清晨薄霧,光穿過樹冠。避免:車道做短或筆直一眼望穿、行道樹不對稱、鋪面使用瀝青、兩側是圍牆而非開闊草地。
