"I was considering a city garden and its typical occupants. I imagined that due to their busy work life they would need a space where they could unwind
and relax while away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
"I decided the garden should reflect their contemporary tastes, and the materials used in the garden should mirror those in the interior, thus helping to demostrate the idea of the garden being an extension of their house and provide a space that is both functional and practical."
