| setting |
A beautiful Grade 2 listed house set within a pretty village |
| requirement |
Swimming pool within long, narrow garden. Garden re-designed to
incorporate pool garden, vegetable beds, orchard, summer house, meadow
and copse |
| considerations |
The setting of the house should not be compromised by the pool |
| solution |
The plan sets the pool away from views to the house but links it
to the garden chalet which now accommodates pool paraphernalia and
changing facilities. The chalet will have a facelift and a pretty
new veranda will look out over the new raised vegetable beds. The
pool is approached through the new orchard and water from the pool
backwash is harvested in a below-ground tank and used to water the
vegetables. |
