Approach: Curated, Collaborative Garden Design

The practice works across the UK and in Italy. Our projects range from small town and city courtyards to country estates. Commissions are approached as thoughtful, collaborative processes of garden crafting. Each one is considered as a unique and sophisticated interface of people, place and nature.

Design-Focused

The practice is design-focused, creating distinctive gardens that respond with depth and sensitivity to sense of place. Architecture, landscape and history are blended with the requirements and aesthetic preferences of our clients to create engaging, elegant spaces in an eclectic range of styles.

Client-Centred

From the outset, each commission is client-led. Our process ensures that our clients are, from the outset, at the heart of the process. Gardens are the outdoor manifestations of home, and our spaces reflect their owners’ lives and lifestyles.

Materials and Craftmanship

Materials are carefully selected to complement the architecture of buildings, spirit of place and local landscapes. We approach the installation of surfaces and structures thoughtfully, preferring to use plants to create year-round form and structure where appropriate. We work closely with skilled landscaping teams and local craftsmen to install constructed elements such as paths, terraces, pergolas and garden buildings.

Curated Planting

We are renowned for elegant, formal layouts softened by exquisite planting schemes that blend traditional and more contemporary approaches to planting design. Our planting palettes are site-specific and devised as combinations of sound horticultural principles, our clients’ wishes and the garden atmospheres we have been asked to create. Each one is a tailored, curated study in colour, texture and form devised to evoke sensations and feelings.
