APPROACH

We create considered, beautiful gardens and architectural landscapes in the UK and further afield. From contemporary urban spaces and heritage country estates, to hotels and wellness retreats, we think deeply, work respectfully and tread lightly.

We design our gardens at the tipping point of harmony, creating spaces that feel at ease but that are also exciting. Balancing modern clean design with traditional practices and tactile materials, they feel natural, as if they’ve always been there.

The rhythm and pace of walking through them, the atmosphere, the naturalistic planting and colour palette, subtle details, quiet corners and changing elevations all complement each other. These are gardens for all senses and all seasons.

Put simply, our gardens are designed to make you feel better. Our holistic approach ensures we consider every aspect of the experience of spending time there. From scents and sounds, to pockets of interest and the spaces in between, we create a natural flow.

A combination of practical and thoughtful planting and our strong desire for connection to the earth that feeds, shelters and supports us, creates a sense of calm and wellbeing. 

Collaboration is empowering. As is connection. They are essential features of our relationship with clients and other professionals and together we create a shared vision for each project. Every garden needs to be perfect for those who will use it and reflect who they are, not who we are.

We also collaborate with existing or planned architecture and respond to the wider landscape of each garden, ensuring a sense of place, while leaving space and time for nature to artfully bring everything together.
