The garden has been subdivided into a series of rooms including
the entrance forecourt, the conservatory terrace, the main terrace,
the sculpture garden, the kitchen garden, the pool garden and the
white garden. The levels have been carefully graded, removing soil
at the front and side, and grading with grass terraces down to the
pool, reducing the slope to the court, building up the ground to
the kitchen garden to make a calm and comfortable setting to the
house. The excess material was used on site to make an acoustic land
bank barrier along the woodland boundary. The new garden has clean
lines with a strong underlying structure and bold planting in contrast
to the surrounding woodland. |
