Moon garden

Inviting wildness back in This design is an invitation to nature to resurface in this neglected and suppressed plot of land, once a pub car park.

Inside-outside living space

Lindfield, West Sussex Locally sourced Sweet chestnut, Oak and Douglas fir make up the structure of this woodland-modern style living space and kitchen.

Meandering Meadow

Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex A long, narrow, north facing garden in this beautiful Victorian property.

Homes in the Wild

Our philosophy Landscape design is an ambient art form, inspired by the sensory experience of nature. Every design is an attempt to capture and intensify, the magic of wild landscapes. The pictures in this post are from Angkor Wat, a 12th Century Hindu-Buddist temple, in Cambodia. It was time spent here and in other lost […]
Something for Everyone

Finding the balance A successful design is a balance between the atmospheric elements (such as planting and wildlife) and the varying needs of all the members of the household. The children need space to play and nooks and crannies to explore. The adults want areas to relax and socialise and an inside-outside flow to the […]
Seeing the Light

Designing to place Beautiful gardens owe their success to the unity they achieve with the surrounding landscape. In this instance, mature, broadleaf trees surrounded the outside walls of the garden; creating a woodland feel and interesting pools of light at ground level. The most interesting woodland spaces are nearly always in an opening, where the […]
