Cherry Hinton
The garden was terraced by means of generous zigzag steps following the shape of the house and running the width of the garden to accentuate width and provide clean modern lines. The previously cramped space for paving was significantly increased and divided the garden into separate functional areas without losing a sense of space and openness. Porcelain in two colours was chosen to provide the exact texture and colour scheme their clients required. The main focal point is the raised fireplace with water blade falling into a pool feeding a rill dropping through the steps from the upper to lower patio. The rill lines up with a main view from the house and bisects the garden helping create separation of the different areas. The overall effect give a really unique appeal to the garden and enhances the year round appreciation and usability of the garden.
