Dense, layered planting unites the garden’s upper and lower levels, providing a sense of continuity and softness throughout the space. Hedges and climbers ensure a verdant backdrop all year, even in areas where planting is limited, giving the garden a consistently lush and welcoming atmosphere.

A playful water feature introduces movement and sound, nestling within a deconstructed planted area that seamlessly integrates with the paving while softening the hard edges visible from the interiors.

Despite the garden’s modest size, every outdoor space is designed with careful attention to detail. Plant species are layered along small retaining walls, charcoaled timber boundaries add subtle texture, and changes in paving tone and material help define spaces and transitions. Strategic lighting, foliage combinations, and seasonal blossom enhance both intimacy and visual interest, ensuring that each corner feels rich, considered, and inviting.

The result is a compact yet layered garden that balances functionality, playfulness, and elegance — a space designed to be lived in, explored, and enjoyed by the whole family.
