The New Garden
Concrete walls were faced with hand cut cotswold stone with inset diamond niches to hold mirrors and candle-lights. An oak pergola radiate's from the kitchen/lounge around the main eating area. Steel winds throughout.
The Grassroots team pulled off what has been merited as one of the most inspiring design concepts for such a confined space. The client was especially thrilled by the imaginative use of natural materials combined with contemporary steel and artwork.
