High Barnet

Private Garden

Dec 20

Written By Neo Khama

A child-friendly, contemporary space

Location: London, UK

Project type: private Garden

Client: Private client

Our clients were a couple with three young children who have been renovating their new house in North London. The existing garden was soulless and dysfunctional for their needs, and they wanted a green open space with a temporary children’s play area in a modern setting.

This was a challenging site, with substantial levelling issues and a complex access route from the house. The new scheme offers a high quality minimalistic and contemporary appearance while creating opportunities for informal gatherings as well as space in which to relax.

The proposal includes an outdoor dining area with BBQ facilities, a child’s play area, a seating area with outdoor heating, table tennis, timber decking, stepping-stones, pleached and multi–stem trees, ornamental hedges, colourful year-round herbaceous planting and a large area of grass for the children to enjoy.

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.
