A tranquil, useable and rustic garden to the rear of a traditional Edinburgh tenement, with generous planting space built to expand for years to come.
This garden sits to the rear of a traditional Edinburgh tenement building in the New Town, bounded by stone walls and reached via genuinely difficult access.
The brief called for a tranquil, useable and rustic garden space, with generous planting space that could be expanded over the coming years.
Stone stacker paving forms the surfaces, at a scale that suits an enclosed city garden. Cor-ten steel planters provide the structure and the height, and will continue to weather over time.
A reclaimed stone wall sits within the garden.
The planting scheme was designed and installed by our own team.
