Changing the use of this family garden, meant a dark pool that was rarely used became a central hub for gatherings of friends and family - new elements included sofa seating, a dining space under cover, the sound of falling water and a handy outdoor shower next to the sauna.
We kept with the clientβs palette of contrasts - using a pale limestone against the existing slate paving, softening it with the bronze water feature and climbers to be trained the iroko slats.
