Project Philisa

A garden highlighting the art of turning constraints into creative opportunity. Faced with a steep gradient, we devised a tiered layout that not only softened the slope but also introduced purposeful zones tailored to the client’s lifestyle.

Each level was carefully planned to enhance accessibility and flow—creating distinct areas for planting, play, and peaceful retreat.

The result is a multi-functional space that feels both grounded and uplifting, where structure meets serenity and every corner invites engagement.

🌿 Garden Transformation - S41

Client Brief: Create a modern outdoor living space with herbaceous borders, tiered levels for usability and a tranquil atmosphere.

Site Conditions: New-build property with a steeply sloping garden

✨ Overview

This garden presented both a challenge and an opportunity. The steep gradient required careful planning to ensure accessibility, usability and aesthetic cohesion. Our solution was a tiered design that softened the slope while introducing distinct zones for relaxation, planting and play.

🛠️ Design & Implementation

We began by assessing the site’s levels and drainage, then developed a multi-tiered layout that blends hard landscaping with lush planting. The upper level offers a sleek, modern entertaining space, while the lower tiers invite exploration and calm.

⭐Key Features:

Bianco Cream Porcelain Paving: A crisp, contemporary surface that reflects light and complements the home’s architecture
Oak Sleeper Beds: Rustic framing for raised planting areas, adding warmth and structure
Pewter Composite Decking: Durable and low-maintenance, ideal for outdoor lounging
Stadium Turf: Robust and vibrant, perfect for year-round greenery
Herbaceous Borders: Carefully selected perennials for seasonal interest and pollinator support
