When it comes to design for outdoor spaces, there is rarely such a thing as a truly blank canvas. The new design has to work in context: forming a relationship with existing architecture, recognising the potential of the site itself, feeling at ease in its geographical location, and most importantly of all, reflecting the wishes of the people it is being designed for.
Design works with your existing site to make it work for you. It involves the creation of a space or multiple spaces for you to enjoy, finds a place for the practical elements you request, and gives your garden an underlying logic.
The proportions of a space affect how you experience it: calm; dynamic; inviting exploration... A well-designed space feels comfortable to be in.
Everyone has their own idea of their dream garden, and this, in combination with your site and its context, will form the starting point for my brief. In the end, the result of a designed outdoor space is more than the sum of its parts: the design, the planting and the site's context all work together to create a place with its own identity and atmosphere: a place that is uniquely yours.
