GARDEN DESIGN
BELGRAVIA TERRACE
GARDENS
The brief for these gardens was
to create an eclectic yet classical
design for three independent areas
- an east terrace, west terrace and
upper terrace. Although each is an
individual area, it was important
to the clients that they should be
connected with one overall theme
that would complement the design
and style of the property. Cameron
Gardens was also asked to soften the
three terraces, provide views from
the interior of the property, and
ensure the clients’ privacy, bringing
as much greenery into the areas as
possible.
As the east terrace is the central
aspect of the apartment, viewed
immediately on entering the home,
Cameron Gardens was asked to
create a distinctive space. This was
achieved by the sourcing of three
dramatic planters, each containing
Arbutus ‘Marina’ multi stems, which

are evergreen trees with russet
coloured bark that peels to reveal
new pink/pale green bark beneath,
providing year-round interest. These
can be under-planted with seasonal
plants to provide colour, scent and
atmosphere, which can be varied
according to the season.
An additional compilation of
reclaimed and new pots was
distributed in accordance with the
available space. They were chosen
to complement the furniture and
flooring of three-tone marble
tiles laid in cubic style. All these
factors joined to provide a mélange
of textures and tone, ensuring
interesting views from the inside of
the property and creating an eclectic
and relaxed atmosphere outside.
The distinctive, sloped green wall
of Muehlenbeckia provides interest
and softens the steps to the upper
terrace.
