Urban Gardens have a very close relationship to the house and are often considered as an extension of the interior. This multi levelled garden was cleverly segmented to create outside dining and seating corners enhanced by strategically placed, subtle lighting.
Cloud Pleached trees were highlighted to create a lit green canopy above the seating area, the effect counter-balancing diffuse back-lit floor skylights. An intimate dining setting is created by lighting in between the planter pots, expressing their form and creating a visual break from the house.
The lighting provides a sense of rhythm that acts both as wayfinding and decorative This is a perfect setting for relaxing alone or entertaining guests.
