Curved and Contained
Thurrock, Essex
The plan highlights the designs progression from a curvature form to the contained geometric shapes of the back garden. The design features a large entertainment deck, water feature and secluded seating areas.
Plant massing was used to add structure and screening to the design. The planting here softens and frames the harsh architectural forms of the house as well as providing a buffer between the path and driveway.
This illustrates the extent of the design highlighting the curved to contained concept and minimalist design. Pleached trees were used surrounding the site to add screening along the garden boundary whilst maximising the available space and light.

This project, located in Grays, Thurrock involved the contemporary garden design of a newly built New Zealand styled house. The architecture contrasted to the local context of the site and required a garden for entertainment and relaxing whilst maintaining practical elements such as screening, a lawn and parking for two cars.
The design a curved and contained concept translated into a curvature design to the front of the property leading to geometric forms in the back garden. This featured a large water feature, entertainment deck, garden pod and a secluded seating area.
