GARDEN DESIGN
CARIBBEAN BLINDS CASE STUDY : BANCROFT LEE LANDSCAPES
In January 2023 , Caribbean Blinds worked with landscaping professionals , Bancroft Lee Landscapes , to install a stylish outdoor shading solution at a residential property in Cheshire . The result was a fully covered sunken seating area within a multi-zoned open plan garden that can be used all year round .
The client The client – a couple with two young children – recently had their garden landscaped by a designer who created the overall concept , including the sunken seating area . Bancroft Lee Landscapes saw the opportunity to add one of Caribbean Blinds ’ Outdoor Living Pods™ to this element and mocked up a digital design . This was then approved , and the client chose the colours for the Pod itself , as well as for the fabric for the 4 screens .
The finished result Our ‘ Deluxe ’ Outdoor Living Pod™ was selected due to its flexibility – in particular the ability to incorporate additional uprights and integrated screens to the sides which gave the project a more streamlined look .
Expertly installed over a sunken seating area within a contemporary open plan garden with a multizoned design consisting of an outdoor kitchen and dining space , the Pod complemented the stunning landscaped area and helped create an ideal space for the client to relax in all year round , due to the ability to control the elements .
Due to the complex nature of the project in terms of where the posts of the structure were situated , technical drawings were provided for final sign off . There was also a change in design specification in the initial stages with the positioning of the inset and additional post uprights .
