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. Returning from Japan, enamoured with its temple gardens, the clients sought a modern-day rendition.
