Residential Development
South Dublin

With space at a premium in this small housing development, creating a soft and welcoming garden space was a challenge. We decided not to specify lawn where possible, and instead split the allocated garden spaces between hard, functional spaces, and the contrasting textures of verdant planting areas.

The challenge was to maximise the usable space, by designing paving patterns that enhanced the expansive aesthetic of the houses, while at the same time, creating a planting scheme that makes each garden feel like it is set in green oasis.
