Project

Type of Project

London townhouse private garden

Location

Peckham, London

For this medium sized townhous egarden in Peckham I imagined three seating areas
A larger terrace has been created at a higher level for entertainment in an area of the garden that still receive sun light
A smaller terrace is going to be retained in the current place for enjoining a cup of tea
A third area is going to be created by the pond for the purpose of relaxing in the nature surrounded by scented plants and chirping birds
A gravel garden has been created nearby the existing camellia and magnolia
A reasonably sized shed is being added for allowing a wood workshop
The last change of levels to the upper part of the garden has been divided into spaces: an area of discovery for kids, with sand pit and a path made of trunks and a compost bins area
I chose the concept of mental health for this project
Humankind is imbalanced per se and is always struggling to find balance
This means that the garden should have been shaped in an asymmetrical way symbolizing our inner imbalance
The planting is what will bring equilibrium to the users of the garden
Medicinal plants will be used alongside scented specimens to enhance the relaxing characteristics of the site and create a urban oasis for restoring mind and soul
