Simpson & VoyleTucked away in the verdant embrace of a Central London garden, this bespoke garden studio is a hidden gem that exemplifies urban tranquility. The studio's modern design contrasts with the lush, mature foliage, creating a secluded retreat for creativity, work, or relaxation.
Enveloped by an array of greenery, including delicate ferns and the broad leaves of a Japanese maple, the structure is both a part of the landscape and a standalone feature. The dark, vertical cladding of the studio's exterior merges with the garden's shadows and textures, while the crisp white accents and large glass doors reflect the dappled sunlight, inviting the outside in.
The studio, a testament to contemporary design, offers a peaceful contrast to the bustling city life just beyond the garden's boundaries. It is a purposeful space, designed to inspire and provide solace, where the distractions of the outside world are replaced by the whispers of nature and the quiet focus of a personal sanctuary.
This is not merely an addition to a home but an ode to the modern desire for a personal space that harmonizes with nature, proving that even in the heart of the city, a touch of the forest's calm can be captured and made into something beautiful.

Karl Harrison Landscapes LtdGarden design and landscaping Amersham.
This beautiful home in Amersham needed a garden to match. Karl stepped in to offer a complete garden design for both front and back gardens. Once the design was approved Karl and his team were also asked to carry out the landscaping works.
With a large space to cover Karl chose to use mass planting to help create new zones within the garden. This planting was also key to getting lots of colours spread throughout the spaces.
In these new zones, Karl was able to use more structural materials to make the spaces more defined as well as private. These structural elements include raised Millboard composite decking which also forms a large bench. This creates a secluded entertaining zone within a large bespoke Technowood black pergola.
Within the planting specification, Karl allowed for a wide range of trees. Here is a flavour of the trees and a taste of the flowering shrubs…
Acer – Bloodgood, Fireglow, Saccharinum for its rapid growth and palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’ (one of my favourites).
Cercis candensis ‘Forest Pansy’
Cornus contraversa ‘Variegata’, ‘China Girl’, ‘Venus’ (Hybrid).
Magnolia grandiflora ‘Goliath’
Philadelphus ‘Belle Etoile’
Viburnum bodnantensa ‘Dawn’, Dentatum ‘Blue Muffin’ (350 Kgs plus), Opulus ‘Roseum’
Philadelphus ‘Manteau d’Hermine’
You will notice in the planting scheme there are various large rocks. These are weathered limestone rocks from CED. We intentionally planted Soleirolia soleirolii and ferns around them to encourage more moss to grow on them.
