GARDEN DESIGN
BELGRAVIA TERRACE GARDENS The brief for these gardens was to create an eclectic yet classical design for three independent areas - an east terrace, west terrace and upper terrace. Although each is an individual area, it was important to the clients that they should be connected with one overall theme that would complement the design and style of the property. Cameron Gardens was also asked to soften the three terraces, provide views from the interior of the property, and ensure the clients’ privacy, bringing as much greenery into the areas as possible. As the east terrace is the central aspect of the apartment, viewed immediately on entering the home, Cameron Gardens was asked to create a distinctive space. This was achieved by the sourcing of three dramatic planters, each containing Arbutus ‘Marina’ multi stems, which

are evergreen trees with russet coloured bark that peels to reveal new pink/pale green bark beneath, providing year-round interest. These can be under-planted with seasonal plants to provide colour, scent and atmosphere, which can be varied according to the season. An additional compilation of reclaimed and new pots was distributed in accordance with the available space. They were chosen to complement the furniture and flooring of three-tone marble tiles laid in cubic style. All these factors joined to provide a mélange of textures and tone, ensuring interesting views from the inside of the property and creating an eclectic and relaxed atmosphere outside. The distinctive, sloped green wall of Muehlenbeckia provides interest and softens the steps to the upper terrace. Follow us @ludmagazine
