A COURTYARD GARDEN NEAR MARLOW
A courtyard garden designed for a small rural site near Marlow, adjoining a detached 1960s bungalow. This Chilterns garden sits between two buildings – we were asked to create a space for this couple to relax and entertain in and we designed a gravel garden containing specimen trees and a self-supporting metal structure for evergreen climbers – both of which add vertical interest and detract from the wall of the neighbouring property.
AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA WITH COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS
A limestone terrace, raised to sit flush with the house, contains integrated benches and space for a dining table, and affords views over the rolling countryside beyond the boundary hedge. The bench and water feature in the sunken courtyard provide a sheltered place to sit after dark; bespoke Corten steel panels are mounted to the opposite wall and backlit at night to add to the feeling of enclosure.
The space was transformed from a sad patch of lawn into an elegant courtyard garden. We now spend most evenings on the terrace and can’t wait to start sharing it with friends! The plants are still establishing, but we’re seeing so many butterflies and bees already, not to mention garden birds in the new multistem trees.
