Strowan Garden
The transformation of an established but dated garden into a resort-style retreat - designed for relaxation, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment.
This garden transformation complements the renovation of a character home, enhancing the connection between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen and dining areas seamlessly extend into a contemporary outdoor entertaining hub, complete with outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and louvered pergola. Beside the heated pool, a second pergola creates a quiet retreat, while a poolside changing room with an outdoor shower completes the resort-like experience.
For family fun, a large turf lawn, putting green, and basketball mini-court keep the garden active and enjoyable year-round. The planting design brings the lush, subtropical feel the clients wanted, adapted for the local climate with cold-hardy and select Mediterranean species. Large trees and fast-growing plants were chosen for instant impact.
The result is a vibrant, inviting garden that combines contemporary elegance with a relaxed resort vibe - a place where every day feels like a holiday.
