Structure and levels

A Battersea courtyard garden is designed with imagination and flair. Creating split levels benefits a city garden design. Layers make them visually exciting and help to raise planting to better light levels. The horizontal planes of this garden design project in Battersea are as varied in height and shapes as the vertical elements. So this design makes the heavily planted garden welcoming, interesting and green! Careful attention to detail results in copper water plates, rounded old terracotta jars, red stems and softest broken white rendered walls.

Light and reflections

Black granite and bronze aged patina pots contrast well against abundant, lush and texturally varied foliage. Polished marble tiles also create a light sparkling and reflective garden. Again the use of tiers and horizontal planes help to balance out the high walls of a small central London garden.

Room outside in a Battersea courtyard garden

The interior and exterior floor are at same level and the table often sits between each space. At night the garden is lit so it seems an extension of the interior. The two old apple trees were retained in a raised bed which also provides a focal water feature.
