Case Study

One of our recent projects involved designing a state-of-the-art garden for a family in Newington, Edinburgh. The challenge was to create a spacious and functional outdoor area that would complement their newly renovated home. The goal was to create a seamless connection between the house and garden, while also addressing the clients' concerns about privacy, light, and the need for a comfortable outdoor seating area. Our solution involved designing a sunken patio with raised retaining walls, which not only created a sense of separation from the house but also provided a beautiful view of the surrounding garden. The patio was designed to be large enough to accommodate a dinner party for six, and the surrounding landscape was designed to provide a visually stunning display of flowers, shrubs, and trees.
