Bright ideas
Twickenham: north-west facing, sad, unused back garden.
​
An opportunity to start from scratch, which is always great fun. Working with a bold client made it even better. The carrot-orange used throughout is a strong statement.
​
Very low maintenance garden design makes an addition to the living space. Composite decking with hidden fixings is a durable solution for a generous dining area.
​
The bespoke pergola is designed to create a false perspective, it's lower and narrower at the back and the top beams fan out.
It offers a snug place to sit or work with a handy USB socket behind the support it also casts lovely shadows.
​
It's great to be asked to accessorize the garden. We chose portable lights, wall lights, strong botanical designs on the cushions, and furniture selected to support the striped theme.
​
'I am thrilled with my amazing new garden. Prior to its transformation we rarely went outside, but now I get enjoyment even by just looking at it.'
​
​
The orange paint is playful and it's a credit to our client that she went for it. Apparently, at night, the orange roof beam seems to float in the dark!
Wall lights reflect the shape of the pergola, very dramatic on the black fence. The bespoke, dyed concrete step and path are beautifully made.
​
We started with an ugly duckling that's now 'a very fine swan indeed!' Binky was a hard taskmaster but I think she's happy.
