Rear Garden, Thames Ditton
Thames Ditton
A blank-canvas Thames Ditton garden created after a house renovation, designed for entertaining and privacy.
The Brief
A complete garden from scratch.
After a house renovation, the garden needed everything from new boundaries to entertaining space. Pleached hornbeam screening trees create privacy and a sense of enclosure.
Design Thinking
Hand drawn before it is built.
Every project begins by hand, with drawings that explore how the garden should move, settle and feel before anything is built. The plan considers the house, the light, the views from inside and the quiet details that make a space feel personal rather than standard.
These early sketches shape the planting, materials, levels and moments of pause. They give the team a clear design language to build from, so the finished garden feels considered from the first line on paper to the final planting.
The Project
Two-level entertaining with an outdoor kitchen.
A two-level terrace of decking and sawn sandstone includes an outdoor kitchen and bar area, creating a sociable link between spaces.
Design Response
Warmth, privacy and polished finishes.
An in-built gas fire pit brings warmth as evenings cool, while bespoke stone copings and sawn sandstone give the garden its final finish.
