Transforming your Estate Grounds: Creating Luxury Outdoor Kitchens, Gardens & Pools
The landscape of your estate and grounds is far more than a backdrop – it is a reflection of character, heritage and style. Long regarded as a mark of distinction, telling a story of the place and its inhabitants - today, our surroundings hold even greater meaning in a world that moves ever faster. They offer a sanctuary, providing wellbeing and inspiration and a connection with nature and others.
Thoughtfully designed and crafted, outdoor spaces offer a place to pause, restore, entertain and enjoy - enriching your lifestyle as well as your property.
Whether you are envisioning a new landscape from a blank canvas or reimagining an established space you can shape outdoor environments to provide a setting where beauty enhances the every day, where time slows and you are woven into the landscape.
Imagine waking each morning to the serenity of your own outdoor pool – with a space designed to refresh mind, body and soul. Or perhaps you are drawn to the energy of a tennis, padel or pickleball court offering the enjoyment and pleasure of social cardio with family and friends on your very own estate. For those who love to entertain, create a bespoke outdoor kitchen with dining terrace – blur the lines between out and indoors creating an effortless open-air atmosphere for gathering, cooking and dining. Complete the experience with an elegant orangery or glasshouse - an inviting haven in the cooler autumn and winter months.
For estate, manor house and boutique hotel owners, such enhancements go beyond adding an aesthetic and a touch of luxury; instead they exceed the expectations of the discerning modern guest, enriching their wellbeing and promoting special moments and memories.
The Modern Estate: Wellness, Sport & Sophistication
A beautifully integrated pool creates a perfect focal point that embodies a feeling of luxury. Beyond the aesthetic of tranquillity and sophistication it works to enhance fitness and wellness – a perfect balance of beauty and purpose. Consider for instance, the garden oasis we created in the Cotswolds. The seamless integration of a natural pool, outdoor kitchen and roof terrace redefined the property as a private sanctuary.
Bespoke hard landscaping can be designed to accommodate fitness courts - whether for tennis, or the fast-growing sports of pickleball and padel. Thoughtfully designed and integrated into the landscape, these spaces will provide private, accessible play whenever the mood inspires.
Culinary Elegance: Elevated Outdoor Cooking & Dining
A meticulously designed state of the art outdoor kitchen will transform your hosting al fresco - whether that’s for a small intimate soiree or grand celebrations such as a party or wedding.
An outdoor kitchen, equipped to professional standards, finished with artisan materials and craftsmanship, is the modern heart of an estate. And with a beautifully designed and landscaped outdoor terrace the scene is set for entertaining and dining in a luxury. Elegant structures such as pergolas, cabanas, glasshouses or orangeries give the space architectural definition and depth and also provide shade and shelter to ensure your outside space is used throughout the seasons. This, is a fabulous example of the most spectacular outdoor kitchen pavilion, complete with wood-fired pizza oven, designed and crafted for those who love to entertain outside in style – a perfect fusion of functionality and finesse.
Bespoke Landscapes: Gardens of Grace & Grandeur
The most enchanting and memorable landscapes will blend structure with softness, enhancing and celebrity the natural world.
Our designs can include formal lawns, sculptural trees and bushes with wildflower meadows and carefully curated seasonal blooms to provide a stunning year round landscape.
Consider a beautifully crafted outdoor lounge nestled within the planting to achieve an elegant space to relax and immerse yourself in your garden, an oasis of nature and its associated wellbeing.
Thoughtful lighting extends the experience into the evening and perhaps add warmth and atmosphere with a custom built fire feature. A sleek fire table or a rustic stone fireplace – a place to gather as the sun sets symbolising warmth and connection.
Our sustainable landscaping projects demonstrate how you can transform a garden space.
From Vision to Realisation: Helping You Design & Craft Places of Distinction
Every project is a partnership and a collaboration during which we turn a vision into reality. We listen to the client, the site and the story - taking time to understand how you use your outdoor space, the architectural language of the buildings on site, and the surrounding landscape. From there, we craft a vision that is completely bespoke balancing the function that you need and the beauty that you desire.
Our design ethos is rooted in quality. We bring together excellent craftsmen, working with the finest materials, to ensure every aspect of the project not only looks exceptional but functions beautifully.
Respect for heritage and the environment is central – designing within Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and Conservation Areas calls for responsibility as well as imagination and we understand how to honour architectural heritage while introducing modern luxury.
Ultimately, the purpose of thoughtful landscape design is to create places that can be enjoyed but, in an age of fleeting trends, also one that endures far beyond the project itself. Whether you are a homeowner, estate manager or hospitality curator, let us help you create an outdoor environment as refined and inviting as your interior – a setting that truly embodies contemporary luxurious living.
