Events venue garden – West London
BRIEF
We were asked to create an events venue garden for this Georgian building that would build and maintain our client’s reputation as a premier wedding and events venue. The most important factors influencing the design were:
- The provision of an identifiable hard paved reception spaces that could be used for formal and informal gatherings for daytime and also for evening use.
- To provide a special space appropriate to outdoor wedding ceremonies for 80 guests
- Improved circulation into and through the space
- Quiet areas for retreat or social interaction
- Seating and lighting to be considered throughout
- Locations within the garden suitable for wedding and group photographs
DESIGN SOLUTION
A ring of Pleached hedges and lush underplanting were used to create a private and sacred ceremony space. Bespoke water features were designed including reflective pools and a ‘water arch’ that couples would walk through as part of a ceremony.
Planting character was considered to provide year round interest and stronger, more structural planting was used to divide the space.
We use advanced computer modelling in all our residential and commercial garden designs, as we did for this courtyard cafe garden design
