Tiered garden

A two-level garden linked by folded walls and sculptural steps 

Tucked away within a quiet 1960s estate in Camberwell, this south-facing garden unfolds across two sunlit levels. A dining terrace paved in warm clay pavers flows up to a raised seating area embraced by generous planting, connected by a sculptural run of steps set between two elegantly folded retaining walls.

A striking brick boundary — once part of a Georgian manor — forms a dramatic backdrop, now softened by fragrant climbing plants. Three carefully positioned multi-stem trees bring privacy and dappled shade, while offering seasonal interest through spring blossom and rich autumn colour.
