This garden within a holiday park in the Scottish Highlands required a clear structure, new designated sitting areas, and a new planting scheme. We were asked to complement existing Japanese features with orientally-inspired elements to create a cohesive design while keeping the lawn low-maintenance, so it still looks good when overgrown. Here's how we accomplished the design:
Rewilding Orient
Introduction
Our Design Process
- A custom floating hardwood bench and a decorative wall clad with glazed tiles were added to the first sitting area, closer to the house's entrance.
- Designed a garden that merges flawlessly with the surrounding forest.
- A gravel path, surrounded by raised beds constructed from corten steel bent sheets, climbs slightly up to the secondary patio.
- Installed a custom hardwood bench with Japanese-inspired timber screening, a cut-off circle, and a fire pit in the rear patio.
- We used a planting scheme reminiscent of the forest bottom, seemingly merging with its surroundings.
