Optical illusions in a challenging space

Location: London, UK

Project Type: Private Garden

Client: Private clien

The client brief was to improve the neglected rear and front gardens of this property and create an entertaining space with BBQ facilities for informal gatherings.

Our scope of works included creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing space while improving the views from the house. We used two focal points and other techniques to trick the eye into believing the space is much larger than it is. A larger circle in the foreground and a smaller circle in the background emphasize the perspective, convincing the viewer the garden is larger and deeper. A new planting scheme will create year-round interest with perennials and shrubs.

A secluded oasis

The garden needed an injection of style to compliment the new interior design of the house, and our client wanted to maximise privacy and sound proofing in their garden to create a secluded oasis.
