Balham Courtyard
A courtyard in south London for a busy couple with a penchant for Japanese design.
As such, the focus was on seasonal simplicity with a beautiful Acer Sangu-Katu taking centre stage and filling the picture window. The bruised red of the Persicaria is a perfect companion throughout the summer, providing a long season of intense colour alongside a host of shade-loving evergreens.A tree placed directly outside the living room’s full height window casts the Acer in a leading role, allowing it to provide a year-round interest and colour.
Naturalistic swathes of Persicara, Hakonechloa and Ferns within the crisp frame of a bespoke full-width raised planter is a dynamic foil to the smooth limestone paving.
