Poolside Olives
This property boasts acres of surrounding land but the clients wanted to create an intimate garden space close to the house – one where the family share al fresco meals and precious time together relaxing by a new pool. The bespoke pool-house offers both and is the perfect place to enjoy the evening sun. Planting here is minimal restricted to sculptural mature olives in oak sleeper planters under-planted with the tall elegant flower wands of lavender grosso. The contemporary pool terrace offers views over the surrounding farmland but breaks away with an open lawn sweeping around the house to reveal a riot of colour, architectural planting and hidden arbours.
