Courtyard Garden on Grotto Hill

Nestled on Brockley Road just above the Shell Grotto in Margate, this small garden was an awkward space that the Italian architect/owner entrusted us to invigorate. We worked with the owner on the materials palette, using Canadian cedar to build venetian screens. Millboard decking to make a seat around the top of a stock brick wall surround. We tiled the floor with all weather ceramics and added plants that could survive well with minimal maintenance.
