Blending our collective disciplines of architecture, fine art, and horticulture, our design company creates bespoke furniture and landscapes.
Our London based design studio and workshop employs a multi-disciplinary collaborative design process, where we work with our small team of crafts people and designers to create bespoke solutions to custom-made briefs in order to create captivating, one of a kind spaces.
The confluence of art and nature has always been a powerful current, inspiring us and shaping our understanding of beauty and we have focussed our lives to learning and mastering the skills to actively create that synergy.
Our journey began through diverse pathways – from the meticulous detail of fine art fabrication, the cathartically simple precision of Japanese joinery and the tactile artistry of ceramics, to the scientific understanding of horticulture converged in a single, passionate pursuit: crafting landscapes that are living, breathing works of art.
Over a decade spent immersed in these disciplines have instilled in us a profound appreciation for the interplay of form, texture, and colour. Our horticultural background provides the foundational knowledge to understand the rhythms of the natural world, the specific needs of plants, and the subtle nuances of soil and light. This understanding is then woven together with our understanding of fabrication, material properties and the principles of design to structure spaces that are both aesthetically captivating and ecologically sound.
We see the garden as an ever-evolving canvas, a dynamic space that transforms with the seasons, offering a constantly shifting palette of colours and textures. The vibrant hues of spring blossoms give way to the lush greens of summer, followed by the fiery tones of autumn foliage. The delicate deadheads of spent blooms, proudly waving as flags for a summer gone by, or the rich patina of weathered solid oak holds a profound beauty, marking the passage of time and adding layers of depth and character.
We believe in creating spaces and objects that resonate with the soul, pieces that tell a story and enhance the lives of those who interact with them. This belief fuels our passion and drives our commitment to a unique multidisciplinary approach, transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences.
Our philosophy centres around the integration of innovative design and attention to detail. We don't just design objects; we sculpt experiences. From the initial spark of an idea to the final installation, every step of the process is approached with dedication and a deep understanding of the client's vision.
We make up a small team of architects, designers, artisans, and landscape specialists, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas inform execution and vice-versa. This synergy allows us to push the limits of creativity and develop holistic solutions that encompass every facet of a project.
The Architect's Ally: Understanding the Language of Space
Our architectural foundation allows us to speak fluently in the language of space. We understand the nuances of site lines, building materials, and the interplay of light and shadow. This knowledge is crucial when designing and building gardens that are not just beautiful landscapes, but integrated extensions of the building itself. We consider the architectural style, the existing landscape, and the client's vision to create outdoor spaces that feel inherently connected to the built environment.
We approach the garden as an integral part of the overall architectural narrative. We understand how to create visual harmony, guiding the eye from the interior spaces to the exterior, blurring the lines between indoors and out. This holistic approach ensures that the garden complements and enhances the architectural design, creating a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic.
By acting as a strategic partner, we remove the burden of managing multiple vendors and streamline the design process, saving valuable time and resources for our clients. Our ability to understand architectural drawings, interpret design briefs, and provide constructive feedback allows us to contribute meaningfully to the overall project success.
Working directly with homeowners
We find a profound sense of satisfaction in working directly with our residential private clients. It allows us to delve deeper into their individual needs, preferences, and lifestyles. We get to understand the nuances of their daily routines, their aspirations for their outdoor spaces. It's an opportunity to build personal connections, to empower homeowners to create spaces that truly reflect their individuality, and to be a part of the transformative power of good design firsthand.
Ultimately, our goal is to create beautiful, changing tapestries of colour and form that tell a story, evoke emotion, and connect people with themselves and the world. We believe that a garden should be more than just a collection of plants; it should be a sanctuary, a source of inspiration, and a testament to the enduring power of art and nature working in harmony.
