Some of our work

  • Epping, Essex

    Our clients asked us to design and create a much more useable garden for them and their young family in Essex. It was important that the garden could be used throughout the year, whatever the weather.

  • Colchester, Essex

    This bespoke garden design was for a home in Colchester that contained a customised garden studio that could be used for having friends and family over as well as using as a quiet outdoor retreat.

  • Brentwood, Essex

    The client's brief for this project was to create a stylish but functional space that provided space to entertain and dine. We worked with the geometry of the house to create views out to the bespoke water...
