Past Projects
Designed across a 10 × 12 metre footprint, this garden brings together practical hard landscaping with thoughtful planting to create a balanced outdoor space. A sandstone terrace anchors the garden, providing a defined area for seating, while surrounding planting introduces texture and softness. The central lawn maintains openness, ensuring the garden feels spacious, adaptable and welcoming throughout the seasons.
A Calm and Functional Garden Designed for Everyday Living
A Multi-Functional Family Garden Designed for Play, Living and Longevity
Set within an 10 × 40 metre footprint, this long and narrow garden has been carefully structured using strong geometry and level changes to create distinct outdoor rooms. Linear porcelain paving guides movement through the space, connecting a generous dining terrace with a sunken seating area and surrounding planting beds. The design maximises usable space while maintaining clarity and balance, transforming a challenging proportion into a cohesive and functional garden suited to modern living.
