Thoughtful zoning
The vision for many homeowners is to create
a lush, private retreat that evolves with the
seasons. A beautiful home garden often
includes distinct yet connected zones, such
as a dining and entertaining area,
a swimming pool, an open lawn for play,
and a quiet corner.
To achieve this, positioning is key. Dining
areas should take advantage of shade and
garden views, seamlessly extending from
the home’s interior. Meanwhile, built-in
seating at the garden’s edge surrounded by
layered plantings that enhance privacy and
ambiance, will provide a peaceful nook.
At this Tudor-inspired Brighton home,
the dining space is elevated and serves
as a continuous extension of the interior
colour palette. While a built-in concrete
bench mirrors the dining area aesthetic, its
location at the outer edge of the garden—
surrounded by Silver Birch trees—makes it
perfect for quiet reflection.

and private garden
