High Barnet

Private Garden

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.
