Was Transformed Needs

We decided upon a burnt larch cladding for the home office and used the same material for the arbor walkway in the upper part of the garden. Not only is burnt larch visually striking, it also offers superior waterproof qualities and higher resistance to fire and rot. It also has the benefit of much lower maintenance as there is no need to recoat every year as with varnishes and paints.

Corten steel planters were used to add additional planting around the garden room and work in harmony with the slate and burnt larch used throughout the design. Raising the bed surrounding the tree on the upper patio and cladding it with corten steel not only smartens the area, but also creates a feature of the tree and allows for the planting of bulbs that will bloom in the spring and summer.

The Outcome

The garden now feels like an extension of the home, an outdoor room if you will. The slate paving on the enlarged upper dining patio and lawn edging echoes the materials used in the house construction.

The home office is surrounded by composite decking and soft contemporary planting. The area is now private and secluded and an ideal space for entertaining friends. Planting throughout the garden is soft and subtle, using a muted palette of pale greens and mixing natural and structural plants to create a sophisticated feel. Variegated plants and a variety of leaf structures add to the textured feeling of the planting scheme. Pale green hydrangea ‘Annabel’ juxtaposed; neatly trimmed box balls planted alongside star-like choisya and pennisetum ‘Harlem’ soften the planting and make the arbor pathway appear to be floating. Cornus contraversa variegata brightens up a shady corner, and late flowering dogwood creates a delicate wall for increased privacy at the bottom of the garden. The garden is brought alive at night with the use of hidden lighting that casts shadows and adds a warmth and a glow to the detailed finishes in the space.
