Beautiful space, I bet their BBQ dinners increased massively after this :)

Beautiful!

What a gorgeous space!

Love the bench! Great look!

Stunning transformation !!

Beautiful. Amazing transformation!

This looks fantastic, is it OK to leave the BBQ outside all year?

How big is this space? It looked very small in the first picture but now I'm wondering if it's not actually fairly large for urban standards.

Yes it is a fairly small space for the average London plot. The courtyard is actually a pentagon and measures approximately 4.5 x4.5 (20 square metres) I love the challenge of transforming the tinniest of spaces, packing it full of multi use components. For example there are also two concealed bins integrated into the design as well as a concealed storage area and bike rack area.

WoW! Might pop you an email... we need this sort of help (different requirement though)

Hi Matt my fellow clan member! Please feel free to drop me a line. Are you in the London area? Happy to help. Georgia

Love the lighting here - so effective! I am curious about drainage though- say from the raised beds and if very heavy rain is there a gradient on the deck leading to drain outlet or something?

Regarding drainage, yes there are drainage holes in the base of the raised beds concealed just below the surface of the decking. Any over flow water then runs to a drain by the bifold doors.

Fantastic transformation!

Stunning transformation...love love love it !!!!

It looks stunning, what a great design, lighting superb .

Do you mind me asking how much did it cost,please?

Wow fantastic. Well designed

Fabulous transformation!

Love the use of different materials complimented beautifully with the lighting. Has inspired me to do something with my own space now! Great work!

Love the unusual use of the colour red for a garden space, very daring! Looks so cosy and sociable.

What a transformation! Not only is it a wonderfully daring colour but it also adds a genuine feeling of coziness and intimacy :)

Thanks you to you all for your great feed back. Claire to answer your question, lighting is such a great investment and essential to any UK garden where the light fades and for many months your garden is appreciated through the cold months from the warmth of the interior space. What good is it if you can't see it in the evening! its not too late to lay cables along the back of your flower beds, the cable can be laid just below the surface of the soil for ease of maintenance. Lighting up foliage is the best way to illuminate a garden. It softens the light in much the same way as lamp light in a room. Its always best not to see the actual source of the light but instead highlight plants and features such as walls, sculptural elements or water features. Its worth every penny. Good luck with your project!

Stunning, such inventive use of the space, just shows what can be done in a small area - well done!

The total spend was 10K, This included materials, labour, bespoke furniture, lighting and plants. You can read more about the details of the project above the photos at the start of this feed. This budget was achievable partly due to the the compact space of 20 square metres.

Wow, amazing transformation!
