Amazing Views, Brighton

In response to the family's vision, we designed a top terrace with a wrap-around seating area extending over a new lower-level storage shed. Securing planning permission from Brighton and Hove council for this extension, we curated a plan integrating slatted cedar trellis and strategic planting to subtly screen neighbours. The addition of an evergreen Olive tree contributed to the Mediterranean ambiance and provided effective screening. Scented climbers like Jasmine were artfully trained over the trellis. Our plant selection prioritised low-maintenance, drought-tolerant Mediterranean flora, featuring culinary herbs such as Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, and Oregano. Tall, wispy grasses were incorporated to create a natural screen from neighboring properties. Trailing herbs like prostrate Rosemary and creeping Thyme adorned planters, enhancing the garden's sensory appeal. To seamlessly blend greenery with seating, contemporary lightweight fiberglass planting troughs were strategically placed around built-in seats. The storage shed below the wrap-around seating area was meticulously constructed using slatted cedar, ensuring functional and aesthetic integration into the garden space.
