urban garden with traditional water fountain

DUBLIN STREET, EDINBURGH

Located in Edinburghs new town, the grounds to this elegant 3-storey Georgian home, were enhanced by introducing a new entertaining spaces close to the house.

The success of the garden lay in creating harmonious outdoor spaces that maximized functionality while enhancing the existing planting. Elegant greenery surrounds the new terrace and will eventually grow into a lush, urban oasis.

 

Pleached trees offer high-level screening, bringing uniformity to the boundaries and providing an ideal backdrop. A seamless connection between the interior and the mature garden was achieved by extending the living space outdoors, blending the two environments beautifully.

 

Materials were carefully curated to complement the existing stonework walls and traditional architectural details. The sandstone pathway connects the front and rear garden, drawing the eye down through the space, setting up the feature view point towards the existing water fountain.

 

The bespoke steel structure over the dining area creates a striking contemporary feature from which industrial domes are suspended to provide heating and illumination to the area.  

 

The integration of smart external lighting system, patio heaters and fire-bowl elevate this space, allowing it to transcend from day to night. Subtle lighting throughout the planting connects one area to the next and highlights features in the garden .
