A SOCIAL LANDSCAPE

This welcoming and well-considered garden in Craigburn Farm balances crisp, modern lines with the timeless beauty of sculptural plants. Designed as a space to both unwind and gather, it features carefully arranged areas that flow seamlessly from one to the next.

The water-wise, low-maintenance front garden creates an inviting entrance, with layered plantings reaching right up to the walls, softening the transition between built form and landscape.

In the back garden, the space is thoughtfully connected to the outdoor dining area, ensuring an effortless flow between gathering, cooking, and relaxation. Floating off-form concrete steps lead down to a gravelled firepit area, lending a sense of lightness to the transition while also providing smart fire safety.

A defining feature of the garden is the interplay of light. By day, the structure and levels cast bold, shifting shadows, while at night, carefully placed lighting transforms the space into something truly special. From the gentle glow that highlights textures and contours to the dramatic illumination of the concrete steps and plants, light here is more than functional, it is atmospheric.

This is a garden that enhances the everyday, a space to pause, connect with others and appreciate the beauty in the details.
