The garden design responds to views out from the new garden room and extends the living space outdoors by means of a granite terrace adjacent to the building and a timber deck in a remote sunny corner.

The important garden boundaries have been reformed using a combination of timber screens and a 2 meter high slate filled gabion wall/seat.

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.
