This small South London garden required a dramatic focal point from the house as well as a low maintenance planting scheme, so that its busy owners could use it as a 'room outside' for entertaining rather than a conventional garden.
To this end the garden was stripped of the existing structures and replaced with white rendered walls with built in planters and seating, with the far end being dominated by a sculpted water feature adding drama and excitement when up-lit at night, and surrounded by lush tree ferns and palm trees.
