Pool terrace & clipped hedging

Soft, lush and easy on the eye. Silvered timber and natural stone sit quietly together, with an evergreen palette chosen for texture and low upkeep.

Approach

Three ecologies,
one composition.

  1. i

    The natural

    What the site already is. Its soil, light, water and the plants that will thrive there for decades.

  2. ii

    The architectural

    The home and its lines. Structure and garden resolved as one, so neither feels added to the other.

  3. iii

    The human

    How you will live in it. Mornings, guests, children, quiet. The garden is designed around your days.
