Barn Conversion, Family Garden, Hertfordshire

This barn conversion property has two gardens with their own distinct styles. The modern rear courtyard could equally be placed in an urban setting. Paving and hardwood decking create areas for dining and relaxing. A central water feature can be viewed directly from the kitchen door and helps to unite the space. A circular seating area framed by cedar posts, grasses and perennials looks onto a large lawned area and kitchen garden. Black planters define the house entrance and reference the barn’s architecture.
