About this garden

The story

Generous planters clad in moss green and soft pink natural clay tiles overflow with planting designed to catch the soft glow of the late afternoon sun, offering a soothing retreat for the senses. Fragrant plants, perfect for cut flowers bring the beauty of nature into the home. A small, tile-clad seat provides the ideal spot to relax and watch the sunset, with sweeping views of the city lights. From a pergola, draped in climbing plants hangs a striking orb-like light which casts a soft, warm glow, echoing the gentle light of the moon on a clear night. Beneath the pergola, a bespoke daybed offers space to unwind-whether for meditation, a quiet cup of tea, or to escape into the pages of a good book. The walls are covered in clay plaster which looks its best in the dappled light, the texture contrasting with the gloss of the tiles. The garden is a haven where design meets purpose, reflecting beauty, functionality, and enduring quality, creating a space to detox from technology and recharge the soul.
