To design a garden that would be an extension of the adjoining kitchen for dining and entertaining friends. It should be bright and modern like the kitchen but feel intimate yet not restricted by its small (5 x 5m) dimensions.
Clean lines and a white minimalistic colour scheme help create an illusion of space in this very small garden, whilst vibrant exotic planting such as agapanthus and cannas provide an effective contrast, contributing to the eye-catching modern design.
By carefully positioning the built in seating between the raised, whitewashed rendered planters, the usable space is increased. A Mediterranean planting scheme is chosen to make the most of this sheltered south-facing garden.
