CITY ROAD

Project Brief:​ 

 

This secluded courtyard is meters from traffic yet miles away.

Tucked, as it is, amongst Islington's City Road terraces.

​​

Courtyards are often semi shaded places and this was no exception. With some lovely brickwork already in existence, we took out the plants that were not thriving and added a range of perennials and evergreens that suited semi-shady conditions. Colour was focused in areas receiving a good amount of sunlight. All existing containers were saved and reintegrated to a new scheme - reworking the composition. Climbing evergreen star jasmine cloths the tall rear wall with fragrance and foliage.
