The challenge: rethink a sunken courtyard dominated by immovable concrete walls. The solution: soften with texture, bring planting closer to the house, create a new journey through the space.

Tom and his team completed an amazing makeover of our Wimbledon Garden. The brief was to add colour, texture and warmth to the old sunken terrace which was dominated by cold concrete and grey slate and in so doing bring the garden closer the house. Tom’s design and Andrei’s (+team) skilful implementation truly transformed the space and fully met the challenging brief. We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to enjoying its full glory for years to come.
