The garden’s bold colour statement, anchored by a striking feature wall, extends beyond floral displays to infuse the space with vibrant hues. The soothing sound of water emanating from the spill wall fosters a sense of relaxation, providing a peaceful retreat from the stresses of modern life.

Breaking away from the conventional lawn-centric approach of new build gardens, Bridgwater Oasis embraces larger planting spaces. This design choice reflects the owner’s deep passion for plants and creates room-like spaces that enhance the perception of a larger garden. These intimate areas also seamlessly blend the indoor and outdoor spaces, promoting a continuous flow from the house into the garden.

Complementing the modern architecture of the house, the garden design features a harmonious integration of elements. Repetition in planting styles and paving textures guides visitors through the garden, creating a unified and cohesive experience. The visual contrast of clay pavers and limestone paving adds to the garden’s allure, inviting exploration and relaxation.

Two distinct areas within the garden allow the owner to enjoy the sun or shade at different times of the day, making the space versatile for outdoor dining and lounging. Privacy, a common concern in new build gardens, is addressed with pleached trees that offer a timeless, topiarised appearance. These trees, along with multi-stem Amelanchier and silver birch, provide the necessary shading in this sunny garden.

Practical elements are seamlessly woven into the design. The driveway is discreetly screened off with a Cedar timber slatted screen, ensuring functionality without compromising on aesthetics. Bridgwater Oasis exemplifies how modern contemporary garden design can create an oasis of tranquillity, perfectly balancing design and practicalities.
