The Brief:
By the client was to develop the virtues of the site in a metaphysical manner.
The Concept:
By the client was to develop the virtues of the site in a metaphysical manner.
The Challenge:
Was to create a garden from a site which offered no privacy and difficult levels whilst reducing maintenance to a minimum.
Before Construction:
The old garden was badly neglected. There was a clear view down, from the surrounding road through the old woody shrubs into the garden.
The Implementation:
This award winning garden was designed on Feng Shui principles. The sweeping lawn area represents a Phoenix and lush planting around the perimeter ensures privacy but does not obscure the view of the mountains.
The garden also includes a little Zen Garden, which is the ideal place for relaxation and meditation.
