Modern Gardens Magazine September 2020
Pro Landscaper Magazine: December 2019 Small Project, Big Impact Awards 2019: Build under £25,000. The clients had faith in Kirman Design from the start, stating that the team ‘Understood early on in the process the type of garden we were hoping to achieve, which gave us the confidence to know we had chosen wisely.’ They wanted a contemporary space which flowed seamlessly from their new garden room, so the porcelain paving and decorative gravel featured colour elements those used inside their porch. The garden was also overlooked from the road and other houses so Kirman Design installed high slatted screen perimeter fencing in line with feature burnt timber screens. A limited palette of greens, whites and silvers was used with the exception of an Acer palmatum ‘Eddisbury’ against the Yagasuki screens, creating a focal point from the garden room. Judges were impressed stating that the hard landscaping was “excellent”, and Kirman Design had expressed some “interesting ideas here with good lighting”, creating ambience at any time of the day.
