Applecross Project

Water and lighting were used playfully within the design, creating another focal point, which looks particularly striking at night.

The brief from the owners of this riverside Applecross home was to create a usable garden terrace with seating and a water feature that integrated with the aesthetic of the home.

This was achieved through clean lines and the creation of a curved bench seat. Made from teak, the seat serves as a focal point and is further highlighted by a dry-laid limestone wall.

To add interest, the main space was sunk and defined through granite paving. Ground-level beds were included to soften the edges between the floor surface and walls.
