A country garden design project accommodating an extension and new interior layout designed by Glyn Owen at The Designworks Studio. The design challenge was to create a garden that required vehicle access to the existing garage around the back which generates a whole set of problems. The key however was to make the back look like a garden and not a driveway which was achieved by a series of small interlocking hard areas that individually work as patio spaces but together make up a driveway surface. The side garden incorporates a large outdoor kitchen unit and raised stone patio which leads directly off the new patio doors. A new driveway entrance allows an opportunity to create a large open lawn bringing a sense of balance to the front garden.
