Essex, United Kingdom

A dry garden in the north Essex, exposed to the winds, but with oodles of sun.

A mundane new build garden with a newly built outdoor office offered a perfect blank canvas.

The plans were to create a space to enjoy the sun whilst being mindful of the strong prevailing winds coming in to the garden. A sunken seating area and pergola offers shade and sanctuary. hedges and tall planting to help divide up the garden whilst calming the winds giving spots to take a morning coffee outside or an evening drink.

A lawn in the centre as acts as the central hub for grandchildren to sit a roll around amongst the immersive planting.

Oak, Sandstone and tumbled gravel give a softness to the materials. Whilst the paths direct your gaze on to the view beyond.
