Tasked to make this 24sqm garden of a late Victorian maisonette in Balham, feel like a truly inviting space with the aim to be somewhere in constant use enjoyed throughout the whole year. Giving a sense of privacy while staying spatially generous in a compact environment. Seen as an extension to the comfortable and eclectic interiors. With the living space being on the first floor, viewed from above its a flourishing green space with plenty of texture finished off with quality materials and craftsmanship. A sympathetic design cared for with ease it delivers on aesthetics as well as practical needs of its owner. This concept entails some very low maintenance planting and a layout able to house a lively puppy alongside repositioning and “re-dressing” stairs from first floor whilst addressing the privacy aspect of neighbouring properties.
