Contemporary Curves, Camden

This shady London garden was brought back to life with limestone paving and splashes of colour. The garden design follows the architectural curves of the house. The basement terrace combines steps and seating with vibrant blue walls. A flowing path widens and narrows leading to a lawn area with curving bench. A terrace catches the morning sun. The water feature brings rippled light into the space, and planting tumbles over the walls behind. Planting is designed to make the most of the shady aspect with Japanese maples providing structure. The old rocking horse – an original resident of the existing garden – has found a new home in the planting.
