Informal Suburban Garden
BECKENHAM | KENT
Regeneration to a small garden of a 1980s terraced house with limited access and limited budget. Sensitively transformed by planting design and refreshed landscaping elements, the layout has a strong asymmetrical geometry based on a series of intersecting circles to create curves that are repeated throughout the space, providing informality and the illusion of widening this narrow plot.

Minimalist Urban Garden
HONOR OAK | LONDON
A simplistic, contemporary, low-maintenance outdoor room for socialising and retreating from busy urban living. This design concept is inspired by the clients’ interest in modernism, including the Bauhaus movement and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed to be a continuation of the highly-specified interior of their home – a sensitively renovated yellow-brick semi-detached Victorian house in South London – focusing on finish, attention-to-detail and equally highly-specified materials.

Contemporary Suburban Garden
BECKENHAM | KENT
A sleek, minimalist, low-maintenance garden to complement a period property with refurbished contemporary interior, transforming a dark neglected area into a light and airy grown-up space for relaxing and entertaining. The design is heavily influenced by the architecture of this notably-angular detached Victorian cottage with open-plan living and contemporary decor, fusing old with new and echoing the monotone colour palette of the house.

Contemporary Cottage Garden
BECKENHAM | KENT
A traditionally-inspired layout to bring structure, formality and cohesion to an expansive hedge-lined mature family garden. Designed to complement a substantial contemporary extension to this period property in a conservation area, symmetry is a key factor which is planned around a visual axis from the front door entrance, leading the eye through the hallway and living space, into the garden, and eventually resting on the water feature focal point.

Suburban Front Garden
BECKENHAM | KENT
A complete re-design of this extremely small space following major service infrastructure works and improvements to the façade. The project included designing bespoke items including; an oak porch canopy; sandstone steps and sandstone setts for edging – configured to alleviate the impact of the diagonally gradated plot and provide consistent levels. Attention-to-detail and quality of finish is the crucial focus for this modest 7m² area, with seasonal colour provided by herbaceous plants and bulbs interspersed between the structural planting in the remaining limited space.

CAPEL MANOR GARDENS | ENFIELD
A planting plan concept for a large disused exposed and sunny site with impoverished soil – the perfect conditions for a low-maintenance gravel garden.

Civic Raised Bed
CROUCH END | LONDON
A planting plan concept for an irregular-shaped brick-built raised bed in a North London high street. Inspired by Cambridge Botanic Gardens & Anglesey Abbey Winter Gardens, this design rejuvenates the area by replacing the existing planting with a robust scheme with interest that extends to all seasons – most notably during winter. The planting is designed to be viewed from multiple angles and features a multi-stemmed Parrotia tree as the main focal point and features flowering evergreen shrubs, colourful winter-stems and grasses.
