The term walled garden has a very romantic appeal… in the country. In town, it rings like a nightmare. Feeling boxed in is a real no no, especially when you have limited space. And a lack of light will take away any pleasure from using the space.
That is why I found this design, created by Maria Örnberg and Gavin Goldwyer of Greenlines Home & Garden Ltd, brilliant.
They have also mastered the art of going minimalist without transforming the space into a clinically perfect magazine showroom. By the way, she refers to planters by Urbis, a UK-based studio offering very beautiful pots, planters and benches in variations of concrete. Definitely look them up.
From the designers:
The client was looking for a low maintenance, elegant treatment of the space delivering stunning all season views from bedroom and lounge, whilst improving privacy from the surrounding tower blocks.
The Challenges
We had a very major need to mitigate the enormous imposition of the 5-metre high walls surrounding this basement garden whilst retaining light.
