Save this for your garden seating inspiration.

Our Rhinebeck, NY project gave us the freedom to create a variety of inviting spaces for weary legs to rest. Thoughtfully designed seating areas are what truly bring a garden to life.

From sun-soaked terraces to tucked-away corners, it’s all about creating spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy every inch of your outdoor space.

Whether you’re working with a country estate or a compact city garden, clever layout and hard landscaping can completely transform how you use it.

Thinking about your own project? Get in touch, we’d love to help bring your vision to life: UK and NYC Tri-state.

Evening Gardens: Set within a tranquil estate in Rhinebeck, NY, this outdoor patio is designed for slow evenings and quiet connection. Best enjoyed with a glass of wine as dusk sets in, with layered seasonal planting and the subtle fragrance of the surrounding garden. An open-air retreat where nature and design meet beneath the evening sky.

City Wilding: On a New York terrace, planting becomes an act of soft reclamation. Salvia, Achillea and Astrantia, amongst others, are woven with ornamental grasses to form a layered tapestry of texture and movement, shifting with wind and light across the seasons.

Benefitting both people and pollinators, the planting offers nectar-rich habitat for bees and butterflies, turning a high-rise setting into a small but meaningful urban ecosystem.

A garden that feels both grounded and elevated, where wildness and structure meet above the city streets.

Glass View: Through a window, the garden becomes a living painting of light, colour, and calm. These four very different projects capture moments in time, from tranquil country escapes to rooftop gardens weaving through the city skyline. It’s the variety that inspires us most.

Framed Views: By simply relocating the pergola, the entire space opens up, creating uninterrupted views, better flow, and a stronger connection to the surrounding landscape.

Every element is intentional, balancing structure, setting, and the way the space is experienced.

Concept design for a countryside pool scheme.

Stonemason’s Story: Stone has the power to transform a landscape, giving shape to both space and story. At this Rumson estate overlooking the Navesink River, the stone’s layered striations and subtle swirls echo the ripples and turns of the river beyond. Each piece honours the rhythm of the water and the land, creating a seamless connection between architecture, landscape, and view.

Swipe to see how each step of the stonework process brought this vision to life.

Elegant full width steps and a sun ledge allow bathers to lounge in the warm shallows of this new Rumson pool. Sun benches at the deep end are placed to allow conversation to flow with those hanging out at the cabana bar.

On this Upper East Side penthouse terrace, the scrolled brackets of the lanterns reappear on the DEA-designed iron trellis. Plantings rise from the terracotta pots and expand across the trellis to create a ceiling of roses.
