Because why should backyards have all the fun? 😉

✨ Small space, big impact.
Who says front gardens can't be functional and fabulous?
This compact pool sits perfectly within a refined palette of natural stone and soft greenery — transforming the entry into a private oasis.
Clever design and thoughtful placement saw this home get snapped up as soon as it was on the market.

I designed a smaller version of this about 5 year ago but I still just love how this looks in the garden and what a beautiful space to enjoy

🌿 Flashback to "Serenity" — one of our signature show gardens.
Designed to evoke calm, balance, and effortless beauty, Serenity was all about soft textures, layered planting, and a tranquil flow between spaces.
Still one of our proudest moments at Empire Lane. 💚

I love a black and white house. I could be a litle biased seeing as I live in a black and white 1930's home myself. Delighted to be designing another garden for this couple who recently moved. Small gardens can be challenging especially on slopes but with a smaller footprint, the budget goes further.

Very excited to see this deisgn fully installed. Small front courtyard with big impact. Plunge pool, natural stone steppers and groundcover with casual seating area at the top and bottom of the steps.​​​​​​​​​

I didn’t need the validation but love to hear this 💚

Science is validating what gardeners have known for hundreds of years. One of the largest studies to date on gardens and gardening, by the National Institute for Health Research, found that the benefits of gardening were similar to the difference in health between the wealthiest people and the poorest people in the country. It reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, promotes feelings of mastery, accomplishment and competence, higher levels of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and psychological well-being. Here, garden designer Lottie Delamain explores the links between gardening and our mental well-being, and how the natural world can be a refuge: https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/article/gardening-for-mental-health
