THE SCHEMA GARDEN: homage to Charles Rennie Mackintosh
The Masterplan for this 2 acre West Sussex garden illustrates the spatial qualities of the landscape design, in keeping with client functionality preferences. A mowed lawn grid for the family kickabout area; borders in grid form with wide strolling walkways to echo the grid pattern architecture; stone paths leading from the terrace also following the balcony curve; a circular driveway with under eaves parking; a grid glass covered walkway between house and gym/boathouse; cantilever decking incorporating a slipway and damp lakeside lawns can be navigated in all seasons accessible via jetty at the lake edge; a bird-watching terrace is included for enjoying wild life. © drawings & design Jane Finlay
