Elevations
Designer: Philip Nash
Contractor: Plantation
Sponsors: Gavin Jones Ltd, DuPont Corian
The purpose of this contemporary garden is to entice and inspire; a retreat for the emotions and a space to entertain. The garden is viewed from predominantly elevated perspectives to challenge the way you would usually move through a garden. The design also explores the use of contemporary, new materials in a progressive and unexpected way.
The backbone of the garden is an elevated walkway that leads you over planting and water, and finally bridges onto what appears to be a floating island with an infinity pool at the heart of the garden. At its opposite end, the walkway transforms into satellite seating and a terrace.
