Our landscape design creates a large contemporary garden that seamlessly integrates modern architecture with its setting in the Cambridgeshire countryside.
The garden design employs some of the design principles of an 'English landscape garden' in a bold, imaginative way, and with a contemporary palette of materials, to create a beautiful, modern country garden.
Architecture by award-winning architects, shedkm.
Restrained and crisp hard landscaping is set against the loose, naturalistic and wildlife-friendly planting.
A series of corten steel water features carve through the sawn limestone paving and boulder seats of the main terrace, echoing the linear waterways of the Fens and reflecting the agricultural character of the place.
Limestone, water and naturalistic planting connect the modern architecture with the surrounding Cambridgeshire landscape
Views through the garden and of the Fenland landscape are concealed and revealed to create a sense of journey, anticipation and drama as you move through the space.
Planting throughout embraces seasonal change in synch with the surrounding countryside, with native hedgerow boundaries and multi-stem trees offering spring blossom and beautiful autumn colour.
An innovative 600m2 rose meadow creates dramatic views from the main living spaces of the house out to the Cambridgeshire countryside.
In the front garden, a minimalist planting design of multi-stem Amelanchier lamarckii trees underplanted with Hakonechloa macra grass creates a striking arrival area.
Closer to the house, a sculptural 'river' of corten steel screens is designed to partially conceal and reveal views as you move through the space. The steel screens also add verticality to help balance the garden with the strong visual presence of the architecture.
Approaching the house, the minimalist driveway planting design transitions to more naturalistic, diverse planting of herbaceous perennials and ornamental grasses.
The planting softens the architecture and helps connect the house to the beautiful rural landscape.
