With the original house dating back to 1949, the client’s brief was to create a new modern front garden for the recently renovated home to compliment the new architectural style.

The main objectives of the design were to create a landscape that is a partnership with the home and create a sense of welcome and arrival. ⁣

Borrowing from the council verge and planting that space in a consistent flow of grasses creates the illusion of a much larger garden frontage, allowing a generous and private walled garden inside the boundary. ⁣

The palette of colour and texture has been deliberately controlled and contrasted to accentuate hard and soft elements. ⁣⁣

The feature stainless steel gates have been designed in keeping with the modern finish and fittings on the renovated house. ⁣
