Yorkshire large private garden

Location

Dishforth, Uk

This large private garden with a lovely ancient barn needed a revamping and redesign of the spaces.
Clients love to entertain friends and family and are big foodies who love to grow their own vegetables, so
Fot this garden, the concept of the edible/medicinal garden fitted perfectly.
For designing the layout of the garden, inspiration was drawn from one of the most important artists born in Yorkshire, David Hockney, and in particular from his series of paintings inspired by the Yorkshire landscape, and from Burle-Marx shapes.
Part of the barn has been demolished to allow the flow between different areas of the garden.
The part of the barn on the western side has been allocated to garage and storage, while the remaining part on the eastern side has been transformed into a summer kitchen with sky lights and with two sliding doors and an immense glass window that make you feel surrounded by nature
The area between the barn and the house is now a lovely dry garden with late spring/summer interest where to enjoy the sun on a deckchair or on the table nearby and where to play a game of petanque
A smaller terrace is going to be retained next to the house which has now a sliding door as well to allow flow from the house into the dry garden
This garden is separated from the parking area for the guests by an ondulated double hedge which is cut in differnet points to allow movement and create breaks, that serves the purpose of hiding the cars and as a background and shelter for the planting
A relax area has been created by the pond with a fire pit and chaise-longues
An area has been specifically designated to the kids when they entertain friends
