Japanese Influence

The clients brief for the design of this garden was to turn the rear garden into a private sanctuary to link both sides together and create a style to fuse with the new glass extension with a slightly japanese twist.  The split level decking created an extended area at the same level as the glass room and provided a smooth sensual area to walk out onto using Ipe hardwood.  A dry stream created carefully from a variety of sized sea worn cobbles and a subtle pebble water feature brought a gentle relaxing sound and visual effect to the garden along with subtle up-lighting.  Rock features, with stone shapes hand picked from the quarry, were carefully placed amongst the gravel.
