Town house

This small and narrow town garden in the centre of Geneva is at the rear of the house.  The challenging brief was to create a safe play space, a relaxing area for barbecuing and entertaining and retain a link with the neighbour’s garden.  A high wall in poor condition, and some areas of deep shade completed the challenge.  A formal, structured design to match the early 19th century villa, with clearly delineated spaces was the perfect solution for this family.
