With instructions to create a stylish garden that would sit well with their cosmopolitan tastes, I designed this sleek continental style garden for my client.
The classic union of opposites: contrasting circles with rectangles, dark paviors with light stone slabs, creates an exciting aesthetic which would feel at home whetyher in the mediterranian, middle east or Gerrards Cross.
The view from the side passage becomes an optical feast using black pergola frames which draw the eye out into the garden beyond. The posts enforce vertical interest whilst also serving successfully disrupt and distract attention from the lines of the neighbouring bungalow.
Planting accentuates the continental theme and the graphic motif within the stonework boldly creates a perception of the 'room outdoors'.
