LONDON TOWNHOUSE
Three Birch trees break the formality and, at the base between these trees, two antique granite troughs display a variety of woodland plants.
A change in level : ascending garden steps, across a series of limestone stepping stones, onto Ipe timber decking, where a collection of planted antique stone troughs stand against a background of towering bamboo. At a moments notice, a floor-recessed cedar hot tub, discreetly hidden beneath the decking can easily be accessed.
A cedar Garden Studio stands opposite; well rooted, with its basement a full footprint as the space above. From the large viewing window within, can be seen, an immense pond, combining modern UV filtering technology - keeping the water "gin clear" and yet allowing for an array of natural aquatic planting and wildlife.
