Long Brick House

Appointed to deliver the complete landscape design package for Long Brick House, we worked closely with our clients and the wider architectural and interiors team to create a landscape that would complement the contemporary architecture while softening the property into its surrounding setting.

The design takes a modern, architectural approach, with a strong emphasis on the relationship between the house, garden and wider landscape. Carefully considered materials, planting and level changes create a cohesive transition between inside and out, while softer, naturalistic areas introduce texture, movement and seasonal interest.

Sustainability and biodiversity were also central to the brief. The planting strategy was developed to enhance the ecological value of the site, creating a diverse and resilient landscape that feels established within its surroundings while retaining the clean, contemporary character of the architecture.

Following the design phase, we delivered the complete landscape scheme, encompassing all external works, hard landscaping, planting and bespoke garden features.
A series of distinct outdoor spaces were created around the property, including an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, sunken hot tub and two bioclimatic pergolas, allowing the garden to be used throughout the seasons. A bespoke Corten steel fireplace provides a strong sculptural focal point and creates a more intimate space for evening entertaining.
A bespoke water feature introduces movement and reflection within the landscape, while a Japanese-inspired garden provides a quieter and more contemplative contrast. Hand-selected natural boulders, carefully composed planting and restrained material choices give this part of the garden a sense of permanence and connection to the wider landscape.
Our garden aftercare and maintenance teams continue to meticulously care for the landscape, ensuring the planting establishes successfully and the garden continues to develop as originally intended. Through considered seasonal maintenance and ongoing horticultural care, the landscape continues to mature and evolve year after year.

Hard landscaping, driveway materials, external finishes and planting were considered as one complete composition, ensuring every element contributes to the relationship between the architecture and its setting.

The result is a contemporary landscape that balances architecture with nature, combining precision, craftsmanship and carefully layered planting to create a garden that feels both refined and established. Designed to evolve over time, the landscape will continue to soften and mature while supporting greater biodiversity across the site.
