Elementum
Welcome to a garden that functions with the precision of a Swiss watch and inspires like Japanese poetry.
This is more than just a garden — it’s a private retreat, where every square metre is thoughtfully designed:
Geometry & Style
Crisp paving lines, structured pergolas, and walls create architectural clarity, softened by flowing plants, water, and light that bring warmth and life.
Seamless Zoning
Terraces, fire, water, greenery — all connected by a natural flow. Spend your whole day here: morning coffee by the pond, midday lounging, an evening fire under the stars, and quiet swings beneath a blooming apple tree.
Quiet Luxury
Natural materials like wood and stone blend seamlessly with the home’s architecture. Subtle lighting, texture, and structure reflect taste and status — without any excess.
Maximum Privacy
Thoughtfully placed fencing and planting shield the space from outside views. It’s a safe, serene haven for rest, family time, and meaningful gatherings.
The Living Circle
This garden is your weekend retreat, everyday spa, and summer lounge wrapped in one. Every path, curve and plant was chosen to support a lifestyle of ease, relaxation, and quiet beauty.
Designed for Living Outdoors
From the moment you step outside, you’re surrounded by soft greenery, textured borders, and a fluid layout that invites you to move, pause, and enjoy. Whether it’s a quick dip in the plunge pool, an evening grill under the pines, or a quiet coffee next to blooming shrubs — this garden is made to be used and loved.
Natural Flow
The rounded deck, curved lawn and softly meandering path create a calm rhythm. The garden wraps around the home, always offering a view, a breeze, a patch of sun or shade — depending on the moment.
A Spa-Like Escape
At the far end, a sculptural sauna pod blends into the garden like a modern forest hut. It’s your private wellness zone — perfectly framed by grasses, birch, and evergreens.
Planting That Does the Work
Low-maintenance, layered, and seasonal. The planting provides interest year-round without demanding attention. It’s a place to breathe, not a place to upkeep.
For Real Life
This garden includes a proper driveway and parking, a grill area, and space for family life — all integrated into a cohesive, beautiful setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from clients — and clear answers. If you still have questions, feel free to message me on social media.
What is conceptual design?
A conceptual design is the first stage of landscape planning that outlines the overall vision for your garden. It’s a scaled layout plan with basic visualizations that shows the proposed structure and zoning of your space — without detailed technical documentation. It helps you understand the big picture and make early decisions before moving to more detailed stages.
Do you work remotely with clients outside of London?
Absolutely. While I’m based in London, I regularly work with clients across the UK and internationally. Remote design is now a common and effective practice. As long as I have accurate site measurements, photos, and your brief, I can create a tailored design from anywhere. We’ll stay in touch throughout the process via email, messages, and video calls.
Does “planting and greenery” and lightning scheme include in the design?
Planting design is available as an optional add-on. I can help select trees, shrubs, and flowers that match your site conditions and aesthetic preferences.
Lighting is also included in the design at a conceptual level — that is, schematic placement of garden lights to enhance mood and safety (not detailed electrical plans). These elements are shown in the 3D visualizations to give you a realistic sense of the atmosphere.
What do I need to provide to start a project?
To begin, I’ll need:
- A plan of your site with accurate dimensions.
- Photos of the current space (from multiple angles).
- A brief with your wishes, style inspirations, functional needs, preferred plants, and anything else that helps shape your ideal garden.
If your site is large or uneven, a professional survey (topographic or geodetic) is needed — especially if precise grading or slopes are involved.
How long does it take to complete a landscape design?
It depends on the complexity of the site and the scope of your project, but typically:
- Initial concept sketches are ready in 1–2 weeks.
- A complete design with 3D visuals takes around 4–6 weeks.
- Most projects are completed in1–2 months from start to final approval.
We always balance speed with quality and clear communication, so you get the best possible result.
