CONTEMPORARY COBHAM GARDEN

This garden was designed as a stylish yet relaxed outdoor space for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. A generous porcelain patio next to the house provides an area for dining and socialising, seamlessly connected to the rest of the garden via a framed timber path. Running parallel to this path is a contemporary black timber pergola structure, which introduces rhythm, structure and architectural interest throughout the garden.
 

The pergola guides movement through the space and draws the eye toward the rear of the garden, where it transitions into a more enclosed seating area beneath the same timber framework. This creates a distinct yet connected destination, a peaceful retreat for lounging in the shade or relaxing in a hammock. Carefully selected planting softens the clean lines of the hard landscaping, with a bold mix of tropical-style perennials, textured foliage, and evergreen structure providing privacy, form and year-round interest. Multiple garden seating zones are framed by lush, layered planting, adding depth and a sense of enclosure while maintaining the modern, contemporary feel.
