Eaglestone Landscape Design

Here is an example of what can be achieved in a small garden in the centre of Brighton. The space is only 6m x 4m. A curving sandstone sett path encloses the lawn with an Ashdown brick retaining wall seen on the right. At the back right on the path room was given for the client to place a chair and admire the largest and south-facing border throughout the summer. They can also escape from the sun. Steps in the top left corner amongst the planting give rise to the illusion of more garden.

Here are some snaps of our latest work, a modern courtyard garden in central Brighton. Also below is the design and some 3D images of the garden before some amendments were made. The paving is sandblasted and sandbrushed Jura Limestone. The two spectacular trees you can see are a Eriobotrya japonica standard (back right) and a Podocarpus saliguns, introduced from Chile in 1853 (front left). Front right is a mature Fatsia japonica.

The garden can be viewed during the Brighton Open Houses Festival in May, 40 Tidy St, if you would like to take a gander. The house is owned by Fiona and Mark whom both have a fervour for contemporary living spaces and art. Much of the furniture and fittings on display in the house has been built by Mark who owns Square One Design Workshop, a contemporary bespoke furniture manufacturer. Mark will be building a hardwood bench on the white rendered block work.

There are some finishing touches to be made before it is finally completed, which is evident from the photos, but you should get a clear idea of what the garden will look like once finished. Photos of the garden will be posted on the portfolio page as soon as possible.

How amazing is this place. This house was designed by the Japanese architecture firm Artechnic. This magnificent place can be found deep in the woods of Karuizawa, Japan. It’s simple double-elliptical shape are simply stunning and seem fit into its surroundings effortlessly. Also it has that beautifully constructed deck in the centre for its residents.
