Often clients initial reason for getting in touch with Chiltern Garden Design is because they are undertaking building work. Be that an extension, renovations, or even an entire knock-down and rebuild project, the planning stages for your building work is a great time to start discussions about the garden and how it will work in conjunction with the new layout of  your home. We have also been contacted by architects involved in designing new garden buildings for clients, and by clients looking to ensure that a new outdoor pool works well in the context of the wider garden.

Chiltern Garden Design can liaise with your chosen design professionals in other related fields, such as architects or interior designers, ensuring that options are explored at the earliest possible stage before some routes become closed off, and helping to make the most of the opportunities created by your building project.

Often the relationship between the house and the garden becomes much more important as a result of changes such as big picture windows, bi-folds or sliding doors creating new and expansive views out onto the garden. Suddenly it’s crucial to ensure that view is as good as it can possibly be, all year round.

Taking cues from your interior style, we can create an overall flow from inside to outside that is seamless and continues the mood, whether the spaces are vibrant and colourful, or calming and subdued, traditional and timeless, or bang up to date with contemporary touches.

Positioning of elements will often be guided by the new openings – doors and windows, with key focal points aligning with those, or if required, offset from these, to create more angled views through the space.

Looking to create a seamless flow from inside to outside? Chiltern Garden Design recommends talking to a professional interior designer who can work alongside us to ensure that inside and outside work well together. We worked with SLC Interior Design, a creative interior design consultancy headed up by the experienced and super-talented Interior Designer Sarah Craddy on this new build in Surrey.
