Clients’ brief:
Creating a large family garden that works for both adults and children means balancing relaxation with play while making the most of every space. This design includes a dedicated adult chill zone alongside a fun and safe play space for children to enjoy. A well-planned storage solution ensures the garden remains clutter-free while keeping toys and tools neatly tucked away.
A bespoke garden playhouse, pod, or snug offers a cosy retreat for children and a versatile space for relaxation or play. Retaining access to the playing fields at the back of the garden ensures a sense of openness while keeping the connection to outdoor activities. Thoughtfully placed lighting enhances the garden’s usability, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the evenings.
Planting follows a natural, ‘wild effect’ style, encouraging biodiversity and bringing movement and texture throughout the seasons. Some lawn area is retained to provide soft ground for play while maintaining an open feel. Existing deciduous and fruit trees are carefully incorporated into the design, preserving their beauty and ecological value. Keeping the garden’s open aspect ensures clear sightlines, making the space feel larger while allowing views further down the garden.
This thoughtfully designed garden blends functionality with beauty, creating a space that meets the needs of the whole family. Every element is carefully considered to enhance the overall experience, providing areas for relaxation, play, and connection with nature.
