Contemporary garden design complements the bold architecture of this modern double-storey glass extension. This Nottinghamshire property recently underwent significant structural modifications that incorporated a dramatic new contemporary extension - but the garden remained a ‘building site’ when I was commissioned in Summer 2006.

The new garden was designed to balance the large open plan spaces and changes of levels inside the property whilst providing both a dramatic view to look upon and a tranquil space to inhabit. A major challenge of this contemporary garden design project was to create a space intimate enough to be a private family garden yet capable of hosting large parties.
