“Absolutely wonderful. We can’t stop looking at it!”

Our clients recently moved into an apartment block on the seafront in Chalkwell. They wanted their very bare, concrete and cold courtyard transformed and filled with greenery. This is a challenging space as their is no soil present, it is almost entirely in shade and is quite wind-swept, however we do like a challenge! We implemented multiple wooden sleepers of varying heights and sizes for interest and to maximise the space, as well as covering bare walls with climbing plants and a lovely red cedar panel that immediately makes the space feel warmer and more cosy.

Take a look at the design visuals below. Photos of the build coming in Spring 2026
