Kensington Garden

This award winning contemporary garden included both the front and rear spaces of this Kensington property. The client wished to have a strong visual connection between both these areas as they were seen in tandem through several floors of the house.

A warm grey limestone was used throughout the scheme with subtle surface treatments applied to highlight variations in use. Planting was restricted to a tapestry of green with highlights of soft colour and scent throughout the year.

The rear garden is divided by three low stacked stone plinths and black clay pots that define the space creating privacy and depth. There is a secluded seating area and space for outdoor dining.

A pair of judas trees provide dramatic vertical accents while a hedge of podocarps forms the fine textured back drop to the sculptural composition.
