Courland House
By Secret Gardens
Created by and for the owners of Secret Gardens, Courland House is a project that maximises every part of the site whilst also taking advantage of the surrounding vegetation and district outlooks. Spanning 700 square metres, over a predominantly 9 metre wide block, this garden displays perfect integration with the architecture, ensuring a strong connection with the exterior and beyond without any compromise to functionality or privacy. The garden has been designed to be lived in and amongst, enjoying a wonderful northern aspect across the entire length of the site.
“Designing our garden was about connection with family, friends and ourselves. A place to entertain, retreat and relax.” Matthew - Owner & Creative Director.
“Every room in the house connects to a garden, with private courtyards off each bedroom providing a green outlook, connection to the outdoors, and an abundance of natural light.” Rochelle - Owner.

About the
Professional
We pride ourselves on providing a personal yet professional service, focused on clear communication and attention to detail; this is where we excel. Creating gardens is an organic process by nature, they take time from planning to completion and beyond; we never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with this collaboration and the trust that our clients have placed in us.
Listening first - Creating second
Our clients are diverse, unique, yet still like-minded, recognising the value in considered and well-resolved gardens. We have a common goal, and though it’s a journey we share, we are confident and experienced to take the lead. A process to reveal the requirements of our clients’ lifestyles, then create a considered balance between their brief, the architecture, and surrounds, whether it be in an urban context or more open or natural setting.
Our gardens are renowned for intelligent design solutions that celebrate our clients’ individuality, combining meticulous details and beautiful materials with unique and inspired planting combinations.
