Award-Winning Garden Design in Buckinghamshire by Andy Sturgeon Design

We have had the pleasure of working on several projects in Buckinghamshire, including a Modern Parterre and the Black Huf Haus.

The Modern Parterre is an example of a strong yet simple design that perfectly suits the setting, with a parterre garden offering a a neo-classical garden with successional planting designed to maintain its appearance for extended periods. Closer to the house, new York stone nudges the garden towards a more contemporary feel that complements the more modern aspects of the interior. The new design embraces the existing swimming pool so that it is now an integral part of the garden. We also sourced and commissioned sculpture so that it was part of the design from the start of the process, rather than an afterthought.

Our first involvement with Huf Haus was the Black Huf Haus, a complex renovation project based in Buckinghamshire. One of our private clients demolished their old house in order to rebuild a new home in its place. This was a unique project as it required a much more sensitive approach to ensure plants that had been nurtured for many years were protected.

One of the great features of the Black Huf Haus is the vast windows that bring the landscape into the house. To emphasise this, we brought planting within touching distance of the glass, providing a truly immersive design and experience for our client.  Our clients were also lovers of sculpture which features throughout the garden.

We had the pleasure of continuing to work with Huf Haus a few years later with our involvement in the White Huf Haus project. This house is situated on the edge of a village and is surrounded by pine and beech woodland. We adopted an approach to minimise the intervention of the house into the rural setting.  Much of the hard landscaping is restricted to areas immediately adjacent to the house and takes its cue from the uncompromising geometry of the architecture.  Slender fingers of landscaping including a formal pool and a boardwalk lead out into the lawns and trees enhancing vistas and encouraging a link with the natural landscape beyond.
