A Japanese hideaway
Location
Ely, Cambridgeshire
Testimonial
"Anaïs is a truly gifted designer — not only did she capture the essence of the Japanese aesthetic perfectly, but she also listened patiently to all my ideas and preferences, ensuring the final design felt personal and deeply harmonious. Her attention to detail is exceptional; every element was thought through with care and precision." | Seva
A covered terrace to enjoy tea, Japanese staples such as rocks, steppingstones and calming water, and an abundance of plants. These were at the top of my client’s wish list.
In line with Japanese aesthetics, the garden is built around organic and purposeful curves, using a small palette of hard landscaping materials: black clay pavers, reminiscent of kawara roof tiles, and silver grey granite gravel. The covered tea terrace is at the heart of the garden but the layout encourages the visitor to meander and fully appreciate every detail, from specimen trees growing through an evergreen carpet to thoughtfully positioned water bowls.
