Garden Design

Successful garden buildings have to fit seamlessly into a garden. With this in mind, ‘A' Frame Architecture has built up a close working relationship with garden designer Philippa O’Brien. She strongly believes that ‘green’ does not have to mean homespun and rustic, but can just as easily be smart and contemporary. Gardens are individually tailored to the client’s requirements, but always with the environment in mind.

Philippa not only provides garden plans, she also advises on horticultural aspects of the buildings, such as green roofs and walls. Since working on the ‘A’ frame at the Chelsea Flower Show, Philippa has built award winning gardens at Hampton Court Flower show, Geneva, Zurich and in Austria. She also lectures in garden design at Capel Manor Horticultural College.

Philippa is presently based in West London and works with the best landscaping company in the area: ‘London Gardens’. Given a free hand she would use swimming ponds instead of high maintenance, bright blue, chlorinated swimming pools and planted green roofs instead of blank expanses of roofing felt. She likes to plant gardens with ferns, grasses and colourful perennials, but will also provide low maintenance schemes when required.
