Narrow London Garden
Aspect: S.W. facing
Size: 4m wide x 11m deep
Brief: To create a space for relaxation
& entertainment. Relatively low maintenance but good colour
& winter interest. Privacy from neighbours. Make a narrow
garden look wider.
Concept: A series of terraces on different
levels creates a sense of space and drawing you into the garden.
Two square slate terraces are set at 90 degree angles to increase
the perceived width of the garden. A raised sun deck at the
end of the garden is sheltered by silver birch which create
privacy, and provides a large enough space to set out a table
for a dinner or lunch party.
A tool shed is hidden behind a panel of trellis which also
serves to hide the end wall of the house and is covered with
scented climbers.
Foliage in shades of green & purple is complemented by
a changing palette of flowers in purple, lilac & white,
creating a cool and calm composition.
