We’re in the process of finalising our detailed set of drawings for this large garden in North Yorkshire set around a very pleasing Victorian brick country house. The house has been cleverly extended in recent years by way of simple, crisp additions and we have borrowed this aesthetic for our designs for a suite of garden buildings. Our client is a keen socialiser with an active family, so our brief majored on the pleasures of outdoor cooking, dining with friends, swimming, enjoying a sauna and growing plenty of healthy food. Generously proportioned areas of planting shroud gathering spaces for eating, sitting around a fire and taking in the stars.
