NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

THE CART HOUSE

A professional couple’s weekend retreat from London.

With a minimalist but bold design we created a beautiful gathering space around a new swimming pool. Scandinavian undertones inform the timber deck and cold water pool.

A feature Zelkova tree sits within a boules pitch next to the pool, offering shade for informal seating illuminated at night with festoon lighting.

A new walled vegetable garden offers an intensive garden experience set against the stunning open pastoral views from the main south east garden.

Planting is kept wild and contrasting in form to the designed elements with prairie and wildflower meadow feathering into the landscape beyond.
