OUTHOUSE designThis amazing inner-city terrace had recently been fully renovated with a modern kitchen and dining experience at the rear of the home, but as so often happens the creativity ended at the back door with no connection to the courtyard garden. Old paving, combined with a miss match of garden pots and clear view to the car really was creating the wrong focal point for our clients.
As a landscape design practice based in the inner city, we appreciate parking is a premium, the last thing we wanted to do was remove this benefit, but with a small child and family dog we needed to create a safe low maintenance space, whilst delivering a sense of green and architectural interest that would complement the refined internal finishes of the home.
Our solution was to fabricate a number of bespoke vertical screens with a pattern that would allow air and light into the space, whilst blurring the sight lines to the garage. The laser cut screen was fixed to the existing garage structure and acts as a foundation for our overhead planters. This way we could bring a sense of green into the space without creating additional ground level garden beds, that may be too much of an enticement to our four-legged friend
Using light weight concrete enables us to create a visual flow from BBQ to seating solution, offering year-round easy maintenance, whilst external cushions create a pop of colour and comfort. Oversized paving creates a seamless internal external connection and the inclusion of both vertical and under seat storage just makes life that little bit easier when space is at a premium.
The planting is a combination of different textures, scents and foliage therefore creating interest year-round and the self-reticulating water feature creates that little extra layer of interest and takes the edge off the inner-city noise.

Oasys Property SolutionsOPS initially identified the potential to develop in the garden of an existing 1930s house (which OPS subsequently refurbished and remodelled). A scoping study was undertaken to consider the financial viability of various schemes, determining the build costs and end values in addition to demand for such accommodation in the area.
OPS worked closely with the appointed architect throughout, and planning permission was granted for a pair of semi-detached houses. The existing pattern of semi-detached properties is thus continued, albeit following the curvature of the road. The design draws on features from neighbouring properties covering range of eras, from Victorian/Edwardian villas to 1930s semi-detached houses. The materials used have been carefully considered and include square Bath stone bay windows. The properties are timber framed above piled foundations and are highly energy efficient, exceeding current building regulations. In addition to insulation within the timber frame, an additional insulation board is fixed to the external face which in turn receives the self-coloured render coat.
OPS maintained a prominent role within the project team during the build. OPS were solely responsible for the design and specification of the kitchens which feature handleless doors/drawers and Corian worksurfaces, and provided continued input into the landscape design, bathrooms and specification of floor coverings.
