Gold-medal winning landscape designer Andy Sturgeon has created a beautiful garden around a pre-fabricated house built by the German company, Huf House, to an uncompromising Modernist design. Architectural plants give the garden structure and strength that matches that of the house but these are balanced by informal planting around stone sculptures that soften the lines

  • A garden built into a steeply sloping hillside is arranged in a series of carefully planted terraces
    + Lightbox
  • Large architectural plants such as cardoons have been planted to give form, texture and interest
    + Lightbox
  • The garden is dotted with interesting sculptures such as this contemplative granite head framed by a bed of grasses and succulents
    + Lightbox
  • A detail of the sculpture illustrating the informal planting surrounding it
    + Lightbox
  • Sharp lines created by stone borders and paths are softened by imaginative planting
    + Lightbox
  • A path of alternatiing stone and grass encapsulates the ethos of the garden where the hard edges of man-made elements are softened by sensitive planting
    + Lightbox
  • A paved seating area adjacent to the house is surrounded by flowerbeds and lawns
    + Lightbox
  • In this flowerbed deep violet salvias have been planted to create a vivid contrast with the sharp green foliage of the euphorbias behind
    + Lightbox
  • The pre-fabricated house from Germany is built to an uncompromising modernist design which is softened by carefully placed flowerbeds and the creative use of architectural plants
    + Lightbox
  • The stark black and white of the architecture is softened with a door painted deep ultramarine and an adjacent clump of wild-looking grass
    + Lightbox
  • There is a Japanese feel to the design of the house with its beams, sloping roof and wrap-around balconies, accentuated by the garden which has been designed as an integral part of the house
    + Lightbox
  • The garden has been designed in a mixture of formal terraces and lawns planted with informal clumps of architectural trees and plants
    + Lightbox
  • The interesting forms of a large unruly plant are silhouetted againt the simple and elegant entrance to the house
    + Lightbox
  • A detail illustrating a variety of deep violet scabious
    + Lightbox
  • The fronds of a vivid green zebra grass planted in an adjacent flowerbed create a sharp contrast to the strict black and white architecture of the house
    + Lightbox
  • A pebble walkway with an adjacent bed of zebra grass  creates a distincly Japanese feel
    + Lightbox
  • A large clump of acanthus and tall grass gives a feeling of privacy to the seating area
    + Lightbox
  • A path constructed from pale stone is edged with plants, trees and shrubs arranged in sculptural groups
    + Lightbox
  • The plants lining the path have been chosen for their interesting forms and vivid colour
    + Lightbox
  • The structure of the acanthus flowers seems to echo the horizontal lines of the Venetian blind behind
    + Lightbox
  • The lines of an angular stone head are softened by the forms of the ferns and plants surrounding it
    + Lightbox
  • The straight lines of the house contrast with a flowerbed planted informally to give the impression of wild meadow flowers
    + Lightbox
  • Vivid orange crocosmia, yarrow and grasses are grouped together in an informal bed next to a flight of stone steps
    + Lightbox
  • The plants in this bed have been arranged in groups so that their varied shapes and textures complement the simple stone sculpture placed amongst them
    + Lightbox
  • A subtle blend of shape, texture and colour in a flowerbed adjacent to the house
