This garden is interchangeable, demonstrating how to make the most out of a small outdoor space. The design focuses on circles and coils unwinding from the centre of the garden.
A sunken seating area is surrounded by water: moving water behind the seating to relax the mind and in front is a still shallow reflective pool. Edging the garden are perspex panels of calming photographic images such as woodland scenes. At the back of the garden these are broken up with slithers of mirror.
The planting colours are simple: black, white, burgundy and lime which blend harmoniously with the copper water structures, and gun metal planters.
