The material palette for this garden reflects that of the local area with flint gravel and reclaimed maritime timber echoing the pebble beaches and sea-weathered wooden structures visible on the coastline nearby.  
 
The garden is fed by rainwater which is harvested from the roof and then channelled in a flowing stream meandering down the garden to a wildlife pond at the end. This irrigates the garden using a sustainable water source, but also adds sound and movement, as well as an important source of water for wildlife. A cantilever deck made from reclaimed maritime timber provides a viewing platform where kids can dangle their feet over the side and observe the wild pond inhabitants.
 
At the end of the garden, a further seating area, surrounded by multi-stem trees and woodland planting provides a space to sit in the evening, warmed by the chimenea. Log piles and a stumpery have been added amongst the planting to provide a home for insects, as well as
