Brief
Create a garden for family enjoyment, allowing for entertaining and play. The design should include an artists studio and pond and exploit the existing trees to create shaded seating areas.
The Site
The site is a long, slightly sloping garden at one end containing a quantity of mature Scot’s pine trees and a very large chestnut. Half the garden has been reclaimed from an unused patch of land. The rest in what was cleared by the developer.
The Design
A large open lawn is surrounded by mixed beds in sweeping curves that connect a semi-circular terrace immediately outside the property to a remote dining area and raised decked area. The dining are is surrounded along the back with rhododendrons and has a large table is constructed from a single piece of slate. The lawn continues down to a second decked area that curves around a large natural pond. Acers and structural plants have been planted so they reflect in the pond. The whole garden is then lit with spots into the pines to create a stunning effect at night.
