At the top of Highgate Hill an old white house faces the entrance to Waterlow Park and overlooks the distant city of London beyond. Its unassuming frontage could be easy to miss, nestled between two much larger more recent buildings on either side and some of the illustrious properties found in the neighbourhood.

Connecting with the clients for the third time, following a rooftop at their Barbican penthouse and bespoke planters in the country, we began this voyage to design a modern Japanese garden in the Essex countryside.
