An overgrown urban garden has been transformed into a family-friendly space, adding quirky facilities such as an outside staircase and external shower for this converted listed house. Focussing on space to entertain whilst also allowing a zone for children to play, new trees were craned in overhead to give drama and define the spaces. Planting will soften the edges of the traditional Mediterranean porphyry sett paving providing a lush oasis in an urban setting.
