Our work often takes us deep in to the urban grain and this project was no exception. The beautiful late Victorian semi-detached villa is typical of this part of Newcastle and the rich orange-red tones of its original brick elevations were the starting point for a garden of simple green tapestries, shade-loving textures and simple clean lines. A new terrace projects out from the orangery and leads down to a classically framed simple lawn through layered yew hedges. The simple panel of lawn is framed by low hedging and leads to an elegant small seating area, again framed and backed by layered yew hedging.
