Crestwood

A contemporary private garden designed to create a strong connection between the house, pool and wider landscape. Inspired by Mondrian and the De Stijl movement, the garden uses simple geometric forms to create distinctive spaces for relaxation, play and entertaining.

Key features include:

• Purbeck stone terrace and formal lawn
• Outdoor kitchen with retractable weatherproof cover
• Sunken fire pit and bespoke outdoor aquarium
• Heated swimming pool with retractable deck
• Character pine trees and structured planting
• Meadows, ponds and transitional bog gardens
• Whimsical bespoke treehouse, crafted from reclaimed materials to feel as though it has always been part of the garden
• Shou Sugi Ban-clad walls with concealed storage
• Biodiverse green roofs and integrated rainwater management
• Locally sourced and recycled construction materials

The garden was completed within a five-month construction programme, ready for the client’s 50th birthday celebration.
