PORTFOLIO > COURTYARD SUNTRAP
Previously an uninspiring expanse of concrete paving, the brief for this garden was to provide a sheltered, tranquil courtyard space for relaxing and entertaining.
A bespoke granite water feature makes use of the existing levels to add visual interest and the soothing sound of running water. Natural materials are used throughout, the textures of both the hard landscape and planting materials play a strong role here. Shade is provided by an Indian Bean tree kept pruned as a parasol and the planting uses a mixture of herbs, shrubs and climbers to give height and year round impact. The garden was completed in Spring 2007 and these images were taken in Summer 2007. |
