Our philosophy
Architecture, surrounding landscape, site specifics all inform the creative process from the start. Drawing on the spirit of the place involves sensitivity to these elements and to the particular needs of the client not to mention the welfare of the environment.
Scope for drama, passion and a spirit of adventure are always considered to give the garden an ‘edge’ while respecting the integrity of the existing landscape. Where the opportunity arises, collaboration with artists and architects is welcomed.
Planting, natural or contrived, will always be led by existing flora and local conditions especially where bio-diversity is an issue. The tension between bold structure and looser forms are often explored occasionally using plants themselves within a sculptural context.
Quality and maintenance are as important as the design itself. All projects can be implemented to the highest standards by specialist contractors and, if required, be maintained accordingly by skilled gardeners.
