PRINCIPAL AWard WINNER 2019
modern garden hampstead
The front garden and driveway of this Victorian semi-detached house have been landscaped in seamless detail with sophisticated blue-grey granite, which is smoothed and softened by rich planting. A ‘black planet’ puddle stone sculpture makes a bold statement and after dark, light permeates the stones from within, illuminating the planet’s core to dramatic effect. The back garden is for entertaining and relaxing with outdoor sofas and a sleek kitchen. Smooth Yorkstone pavers flow through the spaces, connecting the garden to the house, and a black granite water feature provides a focal point.
The lawn is constructed on top of a rear basement extension, affording a sense of openness. Pleached trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses bring subtle changes in colour throughout the year and moments of bright accent. Cedar trellis unifies the boundaries and complements the architect-designed cedar shed. A luxurious roof garden with lavenders, thyme and sedums provides a private space
in which to feel connected to nature in the heart of London. Every detail in the garden has been carefully designed, from the taps and bespoke pipe stands to the size of the pavers, and it has been created in collaboration with an exceptional construction team.
