Your Garden: From Missed Opportunity to Thriving Sanctuary

Your home is your most important asset. Your garden and interior should be, too.​

Too often, our personal environments are a source of stress or a missed opportunity—a "neuro-hostile" space that fails to deliver the peace and restoration you need. Our process is designed to change that. We don't just create beautiful designs; we provide a complete, structured journey where the garden and home become one seamless ecosystem. We offer three tiers of service, allowing you to choose the level of engagement that is right for you.

Our Signature Design Process

The Loci Diagnostic and Blueprint

The foundational step for any transformation. We conduct a rigorous, scientific audit of your home's key environments, focusing on the crucial indoor-outdoor connection. We analyze how your garden, key interior rooms, and the transitions between them impact your wellbeing, using our proprietary Loci Diagnostic to identify environmental stressors and opportunities. We then translate these findings into a full conceptual design package.

Deliverables:

  • In-depth Neuro-Environmental Audit & Report

  • Mood Boards & Material Palettes

  • Full Conceptual Design & Layout Plans

  • A Sourcing Guide for key plants and materials

After

 

 

"From the very start of the design process, Bill was very attentive, engaged with our ideas and came up with creative solutions to design a wonderful garden for us. Our garden posed a number of significant challenges, but Bill tackled these with calmness and ingenuity, making sure to inform us and discuss our options at every step. If we ever move, we'll be going back to Bill!" (Tariq and Elena, Charlton, London) 

 

A Rolls-Royce Design Deserves a Rolls-Royce Construction. 

The single biggest risk in any high-end garden project is poor execution by contractors. We have engineered a solution to eliminate this risk entirely. Our "Design & Curate" model ensures the final built garden is every bit as breathtaking as the design you fell in love with.

Your contract with us includes a schedule of mandatory site visits and key milestones that require our personal sign-off before any stage payments are released to the contractor. This gives us the contractual authority to enforce the highest standards.
