‘No Waste’ Garden in East London
Design for a ‘no waste’ large family garden in East London, utilising all the waste products from the house renovation to create an inviting, environmentally conscious garden. Builders’ waste was crushed to create planting substrate, hardcore for paths and sculptural water bowls, old bricks reused to create patios, border edging and a firepit and old floorboards used to create outdoor furniture.

Dulwich Front Garden
A design for an inviting and environmentally friendly front garden. A sinuous path leads through romantic colourful planting and self-binding gravel to the front door and ribbon tracks allow for parking while minimising the visual impact and reducing run-off. Feature trees provide year round structural interest and a green-roofed bike shed provides practical storage.
Build starting Spring 2026

Helicon garden in North Yorkshire
Inspired by the partially excavated layers of the Helicon mosaic at the nearby Aldborough Roman Site, this family garden in North Yorkshire explored a modern, subtle and ‘Yorkshire’ spin on classical Roman garden areas such an impluvium pool, atrium entertaining area and ambulatories through a woodland area.

Warp and weft garden in Amersham
The garden for this mid-century house on the edge of the Chilterns was inspired by the textures and intricacies of the mid-century ‘Ark panels for Temple B’nai Israel’ by Anni Albers, the restrained use of materials and lush planting of Geoffrey Bawa’s Tropical Modernism in Sri Lanka and the strong horizontal and vertical forms and use of social spaces showcased through Desert Modernism in the USA.

Clay Farm artist retreat in Wiltshire
Based on a disused farm in Wiltshire, Clay Farm is my re-imagining of a 21 acre creative retreat which supports ceramicists with young children by providing an artist residency programme with beautiful outdoor spaces.
The site becomes a celebration of clay, with clay being dug for use by the artists, productive woodland fuelling the wood-fired kilns, broken ceramics creating planting substrate and the history and ‘cracks’ in the site being celebrated through the idea of kintsugi.
