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.
