Garden lawn: image issued Sep 2004 by City Design Co-operative The important garden boundaries have been reformed using a combination of timber screens and a 2 meter high slate filled gabion wall/seat. Edinburgh Garden: image issued Sep 2004 by City Design Co-operative The design creates two new spaces; a granite paved patio extending the garden room level into the garden, this is enclosed with a slate filled gabion basket and larch screen and new steel and timber bench; the second space is an elevated timber deck situated in the sunniest corner of the garden. The gabion wall, a grouping of bamboo and a water sculpture are lit at night.
