A small town house garden with a big brief. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🌿A sofa area
🌿A compost bin
🌿Sensory space with different textures and something shiny
🌿Fridge
🌿Outdoor kitchen
🌿Woodstore
🌿Bug house
🌿Screening
🌿Dinning area
🌿Fire pit sofa area
🌿Space to cook over fire
🌿Industrial
🌿Wild planting

The key is measurements and drawing to scale to fit this amount into a small space.

I've used 1.2m large format concrete style procelain tiles for the dining space and strips of these tiles in each area, divided by strips of planting and shingle to soften the hard landscaping and create zones. We're going to use zinc to clad the walls and a concrete soak away ring as a wood store/bug house.

A copper wall in this Brighton garden acts as a back drop to 3 tree ferns of varying sizes and adding contrast to the micro cements planters that divide sections.
