APPROACH
We design gardens and landscapes, which create space for entertaining, relaxation, fun, play or a quiet wonder. Overlaying this is the aim of creating a sense of ‘otherness’ and a connection with the natural world. They are designed with sustainability at their core and are rich in biodiversity to connect us with the world we share.
SPACE
The architecture of our garden and landscape designs optimise space, anchor buildings and in turn relate to their wider environs. Interiors are linked to exterior spaces to flow both practically and visually, creating views and perspectives at all levels. The success of each garden hinges on the proportion, scale, and balance tailored to its unique elements,
TRANSFORM
A distinctive feature of our work is the design of evocative, immersive planting schemes which interweave with the architecture of the garden transforming outdoor spaces to provide an ever changing, seasonal palette of colour, texture, movement and scent. Trees, shrubs, herbaceous planting and bulbs, envelop terraces, paths and play spaces to reflect the garden style, client's taste.
EXPERT COLLABORATION
We work with with a range of professionals on a project by project basis, including architects, landscape architects, engineers, nurseries, specialists and artisans to provide a flexible service to our clients. We work closely with top landscape contractors throughout to ensure immaculate construction and a seamless transition from conception to completion.
