1, Woodlands, Hertfordshire
Project Status: Detailed Design Completed – Construction Pending
Exceptional landscapes are never imposed upon a site—they emerge from a deep understanding of it.
Every project begins with a thorough appreciation of the site’s architecture, landscape setting, opportunities and constraints, together with an understanding of our client’s aspirations and the way they intend to inhabit the space.
This considered approach allows us to develop landscapes that feel timeless, balanced and entirely appropriate to their surroundings.
Design development
Existing site
The foundation of landscaping is the design phase. Landscape designers and architects work closely with clients to create comprehensive plans for outdoor spaces. These plans consider factors like the layout, plant selection, hardscape elements (e.g., pathways, patios), lighting, irrigation, and overall aesthetics. The design serves as a blueprint for the entire project.
Planting is a fundamental aspect of landscaping. It involves selecting and planting a wide variety of vegetation, including flowers, shrubs, trees, and ground cover, to create visually appealing gardens and green spaces. Planting may also include designing and installing features like flower beds, herb gardens, and themed gardens.
Efficient irrigation systems are essential for providing water to plants while preventing water wastage. Proper drainage solutions are also crucial to prevent water accumulation, erosion, and other water-related issues that can damage the landscape.
The design
The design for 1 Woodlands was conceived as an exercise in redefining how the property is experienced. Rather than treating the garden as a single space, we developed a sequence of interconnected outdoor environments, each carefully considered to support different aspects of everyday life.
A new arrival sequence enhances the approach to the property, while dedicated spaces for relaxation, entertaining, working and socialising establish a clear hierarchy of use. These spaces are linked through carefully considered circulation and planting, creating a landscape that feels unified, intuitive and intrinsically connected to the architecture of the house.
The result is a landscape proposal that balances function, movement and spatial quality, allowing the garden to be experienced as a natural extension of the home.
