Weir House

(Designed in partnership with Jill Billington, MSGD)
This site lies between the rear of the house and a gently flowing river. Elsewhere on the site are found mature yew and beech hedging, an old curving wall and several minor streams, which all suggested a softly curving, linear theme for this design, in sympathy with its riverside setting.

The strong geometry of the terrace, with the radiating wedges of yew, is related to the architecture of the house and its projecting bay.

The yews frame glimpses of both river and planting and act as ‘end-stops’ to the gentle, more organic, curving lines of brick, gravel and planting within the Flow Garden itself.
