Brief
This was the tiny courtyard garden to a basement flat in central London.
Our client wanted a practical space they could use to relax and entertain in, but the plot was divided awkwardly by a step making use of a table and chairs impossible. Tall planting, surrounding walls and buildings, and the use of dark decking also meant that it was a gloomy and uninviting space.
-
Solution
The first task was to level the garden to give a usable dining area and then a beautiful light-coloured natural sandstone was laid to an asymmetric design incorporating circles, making the narrow courtyard appear much wider.
-
Planting beds were created in the gaps left between the paving, so disguising the boundaries and plants were selected to cope with the extreme shady conditions.
-
A small bubble fountain added the pleasing sound of trickling water and this together with lighting turned what was a dark and unappealing space, into a bright and welcoming oasis for our client to enjoy.
