This garden was transformed into a wonderfully abundant social space; featuring an outdoor kitchen, patios, lawn and a cosy hidden area at the back of the garden to relax in.
The concept for the garden was ‘space’ and was inspired by the David Harber sculpture ‘Dark Matter’ which formed the main focal point within the garden. The sculpture was placed behind a hedge, then a circle cut within the hedge to not only frame the sculpture, but to create intrigue to see the garden beyond.
Spheres throughout the garden represent planets and Corten rings act as orbiting features. The hard landscaping materials were specifically chosen to represent light and dark. The paving is cut up in lines of orbit, linking one area to the next. The main axis pathway through the garden is interrupted by planting, forcing you to take more time to notice and appreciate the planting. At night the garden comes alive bringing many moons into the garden.
