MODERN MEETS TRADITIONAL GARDEN
The modular, modern structure of this newly renovated property was the inspiration for the new garden, which is also enclosed by traditional rubble stone boundary walls. Bespoke pale sawn Indian sandstone steps and rusted corten steel cladding define the character of the upper terraces.
