Chic gardens

Designer: Chris Perry, Claire Stuckey, Jill Crooks and Roger Price

This garden is an interactive outdoor gallery space. Inspired by the power, impact and message that visual imagery, in particular black and white photography, can portray, the garden allows for internal contemplation, but also invites social space as well.

The Lalique Garden

Designer: Shahriar Mazandi

With its symmetrical layout and surrounding walls, this garden is influenced by the style of ancient Persian gardens.

Artful Foyer

The foyer of this home is a work of art in itself. Lighting was an important element, and was designed to show off the artwork.

The Gallery Outside

Designers: Marcus Barnett and Philip Nixon

The idea is to create a private exhibition space displaying a collection of photography within a small garden; here the collection is of portrait photography by photographer Lord Lichfield.

The Trailfinders Recycled Garden

Designer: Chris Beardshaw

This sculptural garden was inspired by WRAP’s recycling campaign.

A Fisherman’s Garden

Designers: Geoff Whiten & Josh Whiten

At the heart of the design is a tumbledown fisherman’s cottage, which nestles among native and traditional coastal planting.

Outdoor Terraces

These cedar terraces have a tiered structure, creating a series of intimate outdoor “rooms” that have views of the gardens and a nearby pond.
