“Reconnecting ourselves to nature in our outdoor spaces, whether large or small, can be life changing.”
So says Alan Titchmarsh in the introduction to ITV’s Love Your Garden, and we couldn’t agree more. It’s why we were so delighted to be involved in their latest episode – to, as Alan put it, “replace James’s rather, ahem, rustic barbeque, with something a little bit smarter…” Watch the episode to see Alan and his talented team – Danny Clarke, Katie Rushworth and Bruce Kenneth – turn a Burnley Builder’s Yard into a Burnley Bliss… with a little bit of inspiration from a familiar-looking Stockport Shangri-La.
The episode saw Britain’s best loved gardener head to the Lancashire town of Burnley to meet a very special plumber. James Anderson set up a charity, Depher CIC, to provide free plumbing services to the elderly and vulnerable families in the region. What began 5 years ago as a gesture of support for his elderly neighbours has grown into a charity that’s supported more than 39,000 people across Lancashire, who otherwise simply couldn’t afford it. Even though James now heads up a team of plumbers, he’s still out there 7 days a week, 10 hours a day, leading the charge.
During COVID he dedicated his front garden to those in the area who don’t have a garden, letting anyone come and plant or place something there in memory of someone they’d lost. But his own backgarden, which should have been a place of escape and relaxation from his hectic life of helping others, was little more than a neglected builders yard; paved from front to back. It was, as Alan said, one of the bleakest gardens that they’d ever taken on.
In redesigning James’s garden, Alan took inspiration from a garden in that featured in LIVING ‘22 – Stockport, Cheshire. It used a lot of hard landscaping, in varying colours and shapes, to fantastic effect – making the garden not only low maintenance, but much more interesting. The garden had been divided into 3 different sections – a relaxation area, a Grillo outdoor kitchen area, and a private party social space – a veritable Ibizan party pad.

Designed to make the most of a steep site, this private home in Sydney’s south has created great spaces to enjoy the view of the water. The design features a covered main pavilion with a fully equipped kitchen including a sink, fridge and wood fire pizza oven. Designed for entertainment it also includes a large dining area, sunken spa and wall mounted TV. O the same level of the pavilion is a sunken fire pit area nestled underneath a large existing Frangipani. Travel down a set of steel stairs and you come to an inviting blue pool with wet edge spill over out to the bay. The curves of the pool and lower lawn area designed to add interest when viewing from above. A generous lounge and nearby pool pavilion provides plenty of places to relax by the pool and the cantilevered section of the pavilion, with feature timber panelling, ensures that there is shade poolside and look fantastic next to another mature Frangipani. The overall look and feel of the project is sleek and contemporary, with plants chosen to emphasise the shapes of the design and to add contrasting colours. This project is definitely a great place entertain and relax whilst enjoying the view of the water.

The home’s modest proportions call for appropriate deck treatment. But discreet pops of color hint at an exciting interior. In the same way, the horizontal metal rail fades at distances but up close makes a statement.

The architect requested an architecturally unique poolside guest retreat using a one span, 2-post waterproof patio cover system. The plan was to have rainwater drain in to the front beam and then through the internal invisible downspouts (in the posts) and exit through one small hole on one side of the unit.
The purpose of the project was to design and cover a space adjacent to the architect client’s swimming pool, which can now be used year round as an outdoor guest retreat. Working with award winning designers Powell & Bonnell our contractor completely transformed a 1950s dilapidated summer pool side Cabana into an upscale modern all season guest house.
