This compact Clapham garden has been transformed into a welcoming outdoor room that feels like a natural extension of the kitchen. A bespoke dining bench with integrated planters makes clever use of the space, while a beautifully designed outdoor kitchen and bar area provide everything needed for relaxed entertaining. A sculptural multi-stem Japanese maple takes centre stage, complemented by evergreen hedging, espalier trees and soft, layered planting that bring privacy and year-round interest. Carefully integrated lighting adds warmth and atmosphere, allowing the garden to be enjoyed well into the evening.
