Mini Garden Order / Proposal 1

The brief was for a holiday Ibiza vibe garden-style. Not all arid climate plants are adaptable to the UK, therefore the desired vibe had to be achieved through minimalistic design. Materials included stone, textured concrete, and decking finishes.  The brief also requested an exercise area, storage, gathering area, and possibly shelter from the neighbors above. 

It is a small London Townhouse garden, with a garden office opposite the patio doors, and therefore with less available views and space to develop the design dew to the missing back wall and crossing through the middle to access the office. The order was for a Mini Garden Design and given the challenges I developed 3 proposals, of which suggestion 2 was a classical style garden, unlike the brief, so the client can have a bigger understanding of the possible option.

All three proposals have aimed to elongate the space with an additional wall - as a bench or water feature, which creates a new layout, and hides the office with a new view.

Proposal 2 has a large bench for a flexible entertainment area and a small forest-like corner, for relaxing and personal space.

Proposal 3 has two levels to define two zones. First is immediately out of the kitchen patio doors and as an armchair and concrete bench for morning daily use, has a decking surface for exercise. The second area is for entertainment, with a shelter, seating, and water feature.
