Large traditional garden
The brief:
 A
new conservatory needed to be linked to the rest of the garden. Other requirements were to give the garden a stronger identity and to make more of the sea views. This low
maintenance garden would mostly be viewed from the conservatory.
Site problems:
 The
garden had been extensively landscaped in the past but was now overgrown and lacking in structure. It was dominated by a large conifer, which took up a lot of space, and
overgrown shrubs which blocked all views of the sea.
Solutions:
 The
design ideas for the garden came from the general bold shapes and geometric designs from the house interior. This inspired the interlocking circles of the lawns and the strong
lines of planting. The planting was low, so views of the sea could be enjoyed from the new seating area under the rose arbour. A series of wide, low steps linked the conservatory
with the garden, and a water feature was positioned to be seen and heard from the conservatory.
