The Telegraph Garden

Designed by Marcus Barnett

Designed by

Marcus Barnett has designed a garden inspired by the De Stijl Movement. The garden reflects strong rectilinear geometry with coloured blocks contributing colour and textural relief, whether viewing from within or when viewed from above. Contrasting colours and tones surround a series of differing scaled waterways. Trees and hedges introduce vertical detailing, sculptural form and dappled shade.

Vibrant primary colours and closely related tones used by the De Stijl Movement are emphasised, with restful and balancing foils of green and white
