Latest Work – Roof Garden Brighton
November 19th, 2009













Just finished this exciting project in Lewes. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait to next year for the planting to bloom. The bespoke balustrades are most definately the feature of the project complimented by the hand made terracotta pots (www.potsandpithoi.co.uk) planted up with Buxus balls. The paving is black limestone laid in a linear pattern. There will be more pictures to come which will feature on the portfolio page.







Off to Beijing today for three weeks (28th April return). Can’t wait! I will be visiting as many gardens as I can from traditional Chinese gardens to contemporary roof top gardens and public gardens. I’ll post photos and writings of my trip when I’m back.
Please do email me your contact details if you want to arrange a consultation and I’ll be in touch as soon as I return.
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.
