🌿 Coastal Garden Design 🌿

This 3D CAD animation of a recently designed large sloping coastal garden, blends classic English planting with a relaxed seaside aesthetic to create a timeless outdoor living space.

Key features of this bespoke garden design include:

🔹 A multi-tiered layout shaped to follow the natural slope of the site, with corten steel edging framing each curved tier, guiding the eye down from the outdoor kitchen and dining area to the expansive lawn below.

🔹 A spacious porcelain terrace wraps around the house, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and leading directly to the outdoor kitchen and bar area — perfect for entertaining with a view.

🔹 A gabion wall retainer supports the lower level, effectively levelling the lawn while adding texture and structure to the garden's overall form.

🔹 Coastal and classic English planting fills each level with year-round interest, movement, and colour, softening the hard landscaping and blending beautifully with the coastal surroundings.

🔹 Tucked away at the far end of the garden, a secluded fire pit area offers a peaceful, sheltered space to relax and enjoy panoramic views of the sea.

This design was created to make the most of the garden’s natural contours while providing functional, beautiful outdoor living spaces.

🎥 Watch the full 3D CAD animation to see how every element works together to create a garden that is both practical and picturesque.
