A family garden centred on a reclaimed York stone terrace, with spaces for dining set within a relaxed, informal layout. Changes in level are negotiated through steps, retaining walls and meandering paths, giving the garden a gentle sense of movement and progression.

Planting is loose and immersive, with a predominantly soft palette punctuated by more structural and tropical species. Natural materials, including sandstone boulders and clay brick, are used throughout, lending weight and texture while allowing the planting to take the lead.
