Small is beautiful

A London courtyard garden connecting a new extension to the garden office / gym.

This delightful north facing garden to be constructed in spring ‘26, has to work hard. Just shy of 9m squared it serves both as an inviting outdoor green space when viewed from insode, and sequences views to pique interest and invite exploration.

Included in this space is a seating zone, centred around a fire pit, moving water for acoustic value and two multistem Acer palmatum trees and topiary forms adding all year round structure.

Informal shade planting in a gravel mulch adds a softness and guides circulation.
