My goal is to create beautiful and functional outside spaces of the highest quality that deliver atmosphere and strength of form in abundance. Whether designing a country garden with a strong visual link to the landscape beyond, or a tiny urban courtyard crying out for greening, my aim is to offer a real sense of connection to the Landscape. In connecting with the land we connect with ourselves both emotionally and spiritually. My approach to design is often sculptural, and my outside spaces are characterised by a strong sense of line and form which is softened by the use of a mixture of ornamental grasses and perennials. Simplicity, distillation and attention to detail are my guiding principles, and the results are contemporary spaces, often with a bold sense of modernity, but which are always tempered by a sensitivity to context, history and ecology. Design is a collaborative process which is why I offer a highly personalised service so that I can understand clients' desires and aspirations, fully meet the brief, and ultimately create a truly inspirational outside space.
