ARALIA Garden Design, from Sawbridgeworth, has won a prestigious award for their design of the garden at Regents Park House in London.
The company, based in Sheering Lower Road, segregated the garden into five spaces, aiming to reflect the architecture of the house and create a sense of journey through space.
The first section created was an occasional drinks area, the second an outdoor dining room with overhead pergola, the third a paved area for a barbeque and water feature, the fourth a lawn for private relaxation and the final one a utility area with shed.
Planting borders included evergreen hedging to enhance the feeling of divisions and softer planting to provide seasonal change and fragrance.
Also built was a wrought iron staircase, complete with first floor balcony.
As a result, Aralia picked up a golden gong at the New Homes Garden Awards in the Best Renovation Project category.
Patricia Fox, founder of Aralia, collected the award at the ceremony held in Gaucho City, in the City of London, on Friday, October 4.
A client of Aralia purchased Regents Park House, a Grade II listed five-storey property, three years ago.
They wanted to use the garden for entertaining and relaxing, desiring a traditional garden with a calm, tranquil and ‘country’ feel, despite its urban location.
At only five metres wide they also wished the garden to appear wider and more spacious than it was.
The task proved no problem for Aralia, though, which will mark 10 years of operation in 2014, and the company won a BALI Design excellence award in 2011 for the garden as well.
