From kitchen to garden
A Garden in Layers
An easy connection between the kitchen, the table and the life beyond.
This concept begins at the kitchen threshold. Rather than treating the view and the outdoor rooms as separate things, the garden unfolds as a series of connected places.
The brief
Dining, everyday play and quieter planting all needed room. A single open surface would have been flexible, but it would have lost the feeling of a garden.
A considered response
Three broad terraces make gentle changes in level feel intentional. Planting draws close to the house, then opens around a central dining place. The paths stay clear and generous.
A palette that belongs
Broad stone terraces, a circular dining table, light-canopied trees and soft planting edges.
Room to grow
The best route through a garden is often the one you already want to take.
