We have always considered the design of the surrounding landscape or gardens as an important and integral part of our projects. For us, architecture, interior design and landscape design are inherently connected.

As an additional service, we can provide preliminary conceptual design ideas for the landscaping where these extend the use and enjoyment of the building interiors to the outside and beyond. We can also provide a full service for the design of the hard landscaping immediately adjacent to the house should this be required.
