Planting

Design
Brief
A large property in
Lenham commanded magnificent views over Kent and thus presented a
challenge with a very exposed location. The planting needed to be able
to withstand the elements whilst providing seasonal variation without
obstructing the view. The paving materials were required to be
sympathetic with the house materials.
Planting softens the
brickwork of the building.

Exposed to the elements,
the planting needs to be able to withstand the extremes.

Traditional materials with
contemporary lighting.

The open views emphasised
by the sweeping terrace. |
Framing a view for
entertaining. |
The grand rill, reflecting
clouds as the water cascades to the horizon. |
