Brief: The clients were looking to transform their small, town house garden. They wanted to create a courtyard space that they could relax in, after work and at weekends. They also wished to make use of a dysfunctional side return.

During our client consultation and site assessment, we discovered that the existing decking was completely rotten. The space was overgrown with vegetation and they had a severe problem with pigeons. They required a low maintenance, minimal design that would brighten up the space.
