Kensington

This prestigious Kensington garden project created an exceptionally elegant outdoor living space, combining refined materials, contemporary design and luxurious features to deliver a sophisticated garden befitting this exclusive London location.

The centrepiece of the seating area is a bespoke wooden bench enhanced by a beautiful timber covering that creates an intimate, sheltered zone within the garden. This stunning architectural feature provides both comfort and visual drama, with the carefully crafted wood structure adding warmth, texture and a sense of quality craftsmanship. The covered bench becomes a focal point in its own right, offering a cosy retreat where the homeowners can relax whilst adding sculptural interest to the overall design.

Throughout the garden, sleek lighting has been expertly integrated to create atmosphere and extend usability into the evening hours. The carefully positioned lighting scheme highlights key features, provides subtle illumination for pathways and entertaining areas, and transforms the garden after dark into an enchanting outdoor room. The contemporary light fittings complement the sophisticated design aesthetic whilst ensuring the space remains practical and safe during evening use.

Beautiful stone paving forms the foundation of the garden, providing quality surfaces that exude elegance and permanence. The premium stone materials bring natural texture and colour variation that manufactured alternatives cannot match, creating an understated luxury that improves with age. The paving provides generous space for carefully selected garden furniture, creating comfortable zones for relaxation and conversation.

A premium BBQ installation elevates outdoor dining to new heights, allowing the homeowners to prepare exceptional meals in their garden setting. This high-quality cooking feature is seamlessly integrated into the overall design, providing serious cooking capability whilst maintaining the garden's refined aesthetic.

Elegant garden furniture completes the space, chosen to complement the quality of the hard landscaping and architectural features. The furniture placement creates inviting arrangements for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining occasions, making full use of the beautifully crafted outdoor environment.

The finished garden delivers a truly sophisticated outdoor living space that combines architectural interest, quality materials and luxury amenities, creating an exclusive retreat in the heart of London.
