Garden & Landscape Design
"Our uncluttered approach is best described as ‘quietly contemporary’, exploring natural plant communities and materials with crisp detailing, textural contrasts and reflective water. We have a commitment to simplicity and sustainability."
"Understanding the landscape and architecture to which each garden relates is at the centre of our process which unfolds in close consultation with our clients:
Example: The Courtyard
We created a beautiful garden for a modern barn conversion set on the grounds of an 18th-century dower house. Working closely with the architects and lighting designers we created an upper courtyard, enclosed on three and a half sides featuring a Mediterranean-inspired ‘dry garden’ with a beautiful, calm reflective pool as a counterpoint to the exuberance of the planting.
Large stepping stones provide the route linking the kitchen living area to the master bedroom. An outer garden, accessed through one of two anthracite arches, featured a lawn ’quadrangle' with a perennial walk and a wildflower meadow fringe with open views to the horse paddock beyond."
