Raised up
behind the custom made oak seat set into the wall in the top left-hand corner
of the garden, there is an Indian millstone which has water gently running up
through the middle and overflowing onto the marble mosaic surround. |

|
The seat
sits two comfortably and the wall height behind has been set to perfect
chair-back height. The millstone
doubles as a small table for two glasses and a bottle of Chablis which can be
kept cold using ice cubes piled up on the top surface. The stone
is lit from below for a subtle glow |

iGuzzini Iris Full
Screen exterior lights to the rear of the house have an aluminium outer frame and
internally painted glass diffuser. |

The
garden now invites you in, the walls welcoming with open arms. These
days it’s a good place to be and is truly a part of the house, being used day
and night. |
Before! |

A stone
platform has been laid onto the earth front left of the tree - Prunus
subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’ which sits in the top right hand corner - ready for
when we find the right piece of sculpture. Ah yes …
the planting … well that’s going to have to wait for a very rainy day. I’ll put a list here at a later date … but
it is something really special! |
