A garden that connects with the way you live.
A pool renovation, a new outdoor room or an existing garden with awkward transitions can be the starting point. We consider how those changes will work with the house and the rest of your site, rather than designing each element in isolation.
At Merewether Retreat, the brief was to replace fragmented spaces and ageing decking with a connected pool courtyard. Curved seating, travertine steps, shade and a considered planting scheme brought the different outdoor areas together.
The project is one example of how design can make existing spaces easier to use. Your own brief may be quite different. We start by understanding your priorities, site levels, light, privacy and the connection to your home.
