RECENT PROJECTS
SANTO STEFANO BELBO
This garden was designed to work with existing and newly planned architectural elements to create a structured space with practical planting.
Climbers of differing types and curved beds / large planters were introduced to create character and softness, and a circular seating area was introduced to create a shaded, calm spot in a garden that is in direct sunlight for most of the day.
Rocchetta PAlafea
My first project in Piedmont was my own garden. Originally a completely empty blank space - with nothing but wild grasses and the ubiquitous Robinia trees - the design incorporates soft, curved beds and Mediterranean inspired planting to create a lush, relaxed series of interconnecting ‘rooms’.
The design takes into consideration full sun during the day, the hillside micro climate and the strong winds that often cut diagonally across the site. As the garden is approached from a long, descending driveway, the focal points in the garden are designed to lead the eye through the various spaces to a circular seating area towards the rear of the land, viewed through a rose covered arch.
CALAMANDRANA
With this walled garden, where each side represented a different length and angle, and where the land undulated, the challenge was to create a design that worked in harmony with the house and table/socialising area.
Soft, curved bedding was employed to create greater flow / journey, and a planting scheme was created focused on blues and whites, as well as shrubs that will perform well in shaded areas.
