The garden, as it will feel.
The heart of the garden — dining terrace directly off the 7.2m sliding door, a multi-stem birch giving dappled shade, the outdoor kitchen behind with cedar-fronted cabinetry. The pool visible beyond.
Looking south across the full garden — pool and deck in the foreground, evening terrace and pergola beyond, the silver birch anchoring the left boundary. Late afternoon light from the south-west.
The pool deck and main terrace — three olive standards on the rear deck edge, sun loungers facing the water, prairie planting weaving through the rendered raised beds. The outdoor kitchen canopy visible lower left.
The pergola at dusk — sofa seating under the slatted canopy, the corten water bowl catching the last of the light, espalier apple blossom along the right boundary. The garden at its most still.
The outdoor kitchen in detail — micro-cement body, cedar-fronted cabinetry, stainless grill under the timber slatted canopy. Espalier apple against the cedar fence, the interior visible through the sliding doors beyond.
Looking across the pool toward the rear garden — the herringbone clay paver connection, prairie planting in full bloom, the chicken run tucked discreetly against the cedar boundary, and the evening terrace beyond. The whole garden in one view.
The garden after dark — warm interior light spilling through the sliding doors, the pool lit from below, fairy lights on the evening terrace beyond. Rich at the outdoor kitchen. Kat on the terrace. No one needing to be anywhere else.
The full garden at dusk — the illuminated rooflight, pool glow, warm uplighting on the boundary cedar, the pergola lit below. Every zone alive at the same moment.
A journey through the garden in full summer daylight — from the house, across the terrace and pool, through the planting, to the evening terrace beyond.
