Garden for a summerhouse, Hampstead

This garden, recently built, was designed around a new summerhouse/office. The garden, sloping away from the main house and very overlooked by flats above, had hardly been used before the redesign. The aim was to extend the existing small terrace to make a larger dining area, to create a private lower terrace further down the garden, to grow plenty of low–maintenance, shade–tolerant planting and to incorporate (but screen) a children’s play area, including a trampoline.
