Luxury Day-to-Night Family Retreat

Client Brief and Vision

Our clients in Nottingham sought a garden that would function as both a relaxing retreat and a versatile space for entertaining. They envisioned a luxurious yet functional layout that would offer distinct areas for cooking, lounging, and social gatherings. Their ideal garden would seamlessly transition from day to night, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at all times.

Design Highlights

The garden’s centrepiece is a sleek a shaded lounge with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, featuring a built-in BBQ, fridge, and ample counter space. This setup encourages alfresco dining and easy social gatherings, allowing guests to relax close to the main seating area. Plush, weather-resistant furniture surrounds a central fire pit, creating a cosy, inviting spot for both intimate conversations and larger gatherings.

Elegant Beige Smooth Sandstone and Mint Sett pathways connect the zones, enhancing the garden’s timeless appeal. At night, strategically placed LED lighting illuminates key areas, casting a warm glow over pathways, seating zones, and architectural elements. Woven fence panels add both privacy and style, providing a textured backdrop that complements the greenery and balances the garden’s natural and modern aesthetic.

The Final Result

This garden transformation exceeded the clients’ expectations, offering a multifunctional outdoor space that feels like an extension of their home. By day, it serves as a peaceful retreat for family activities, and by night, it becomes a beautifully lit venue for gatherings. The finished design provides the clients with a luxurious, versatile, and timeless outdoor sanctuary they can enjoy year-round.
