Focal point

This garden on the edge of the Chiltern Hills was an open slope of lawn falling away to a dark corner with no focal point or feature of interest. The change of level created by the railway sleeper "wall" gives a sense of space, a point of interest and another "room" beyond the arch. The standing stone water feature can be seen from the sitting room windows through the arch and at night is illuminated by lights hidden in the sleeper wall, giving a wonderful nightscape view.
