Georgian Country House,
Surrey Hills
A complete reimagining of an 8‑acre garden on a Georgian estate, creating new terraces, a pool house and a landscape that restores the site’s country character.
Project
Georgian country house in the Surrey Hills, UK
Client Brief
Set within an 8‑acre garden on a wider 90‑acre estate, this project began as a true blank canvas. A previous owner had removed all of the mature gardens, leaving the current clients keen to reinvigorate the Georgian country character of the site.
The design introduces a series of sociable kitchen, dining and evening terraces, along with a new pool house and pool terrace that support relaxed indoor–outdoor living and reflect the clients’ experiences while living abroad.
With the house sitting on a sloping site, the layout works carefully with the existing topography to create a natural flow between spaces.
The garden will be delivered in phases, allowing the landscape to evolve thoughtfully over time.
Hand Crafted Design

This is a tactile, mind–eye–hand part of my process that brings ideas to life with clarity and intuition.
Layered, textural planting for a sociable pool terrace, supported by mood boards and planting palettes that show clients how the scheme will take shape and reflect the atmosphere they want to create.
