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.
