The idea
Useful spaces. Thoughtful planting.
Our approach begins with the relationship between a garden and daily life. It favours a clear plan, a small number of strong decisions, and planting that belongs to its setting.
“Start with how the garden should feel on an ordinary day.”
A starting principle for our approach.
Studio notes
The character behind the work.
The garden studies show how a brief can inform layout and planting decisions. Each is clearly identified as an illustrative design study.
Observation
Pay attention first
Understand the routes, light, and existing life of a place before deciding what to add.
Restraint
Keep a clear thread
Use structure and repetition to connect the garden’s different moments.
Practicality
Leave a useful plan
Make the next steps understandable, including the decisions that need separate advice.
Next / Start with the need
Tell us about
your garden.
Share the kind of help you need and a little context about the space. The sample brief guides you through the relevant questions.
