Budget | < £25k

Contractor | Promised Landscapes

Completed | Spring 2020

The spacious feel of this former pottery worker’s cottage garden disguises its tiny size. Clever split level seating and concealed storage maximise the compact 20 sqm footprint, leftover after the completion of a new dining extension by Chamber McMillan Architects. A true outdoor room bringing inside out and vice versa, the striking geometric forms, industrial material palette and shade tolerant planting combine to create a functional courtyard garden for relaxation and play, which complements the style of the new dining extension and animates its picture window.

A deeply intuitive designer, Amie listened, gently teased us to think differently and delighted us with her design

PM, Murrayfield
I now look out at my garden, brimming with plant, insect and bird life. It is my sanctuary, a piece of art work. I was never a gardener [before] but now I cannot wait to get outside and potter. Thank you Amie.

LD, Dalkeith
We are delighted with the service from Amie. She listened to what we wanted in the garden and produced a lovely design which not only met our specifications, but also gave us new ideas about the space. She is a pleasure to work with.

LM, West End
The investment in great design has truly paid off and we’d recommend a chat with Amie to anyone considering improving their outside space.

HG, Portobello
Amie is a delight to work with and her design for our garden is quite literally jaw-dropping... This is not someone who simply rolls out one of her standard designs, she listens to your needs and then translates it into your perfect garden. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

AG, The Grange
