Hove family garden
This once open, unwelcoming garden is now a series of inviting outdoor rooms designed for family life. By creating dedicated spaces for cooking, relaxing and enjoying the garden, the layout now offers both flexibility and privacy as the children grow older. Thoughtful planting, pergolas and subtle screening bring structure, softness and a strong sense of flow, making the garden a place the whole family loves to spend time in.
