Why do you think gardens and outdoor spaces are so important? Human beings inherently need a place to belong and to feel a sense of ease. Studies have shown that gardens enhance both our mental and physical wellbeing, so keeping this in mind, we always design gardens and interiors which create a sense of place. A well-designed garden should be a fusion of purpose, style and function.
Why is it so important that gardens and interiors work together? Gardens can be a seamless extension of the indoor living space if design is considered and both work in harmony. Ideally, a garden should reflect the interior and vice versa.
How do you utilise garden furniture in your designs? Creating areas in which to lounge, entertain or enjoy some solitude is critical to any garden or outdoor space. Furniture helps to create the stage and backdrop for various activities that might take place throughout the day.
