Fernhill Drive, Leamington Spa

Brief

Transform a neglected back garden into a functional family-friendly space with wow factor.

Before
A rather sad looking lawn meets a neglected fence.
The garden did not match the fine finish of the recently extended house.
Visual concepts
Zoning the garden into outdoor rooms makes the space seem larger, while incentivising moving through the space
Proposed view from the living room, looking out onto the lounge terrace. Painting the fences black helps to blur the boundaries, making the space feel bigger,
The lounge terrace off the living room catches the late evening sun.
Proposed view from the kitchen, looking out onto lush green planting that will look good all year round.
Proposed plan view showing (clockwise from top left): the dining terrace, swingball lawn, bike store, planted gravel path & lounge terrace.
Generous island and boundary planting screens for privacy and creates a ‘sense of more’ beyond.
