Once an overgrown space dominated by mature trees, this garden was transformed into a calm, contemporary retreat built around a timeless white planting palette.

A generous porcelain terrace flows seamlessly from the house into a crisp rectangular lawn, framed by raised rendered planters, soft grey gravel and sculptural stone spheres. White hydrangeas, roses and flowering perennials sit alongside clipped olive trees, variegated evergreens and graceful bamboo — bringing texture and structure that will only soften and mature with time.

Large sliding doors blur the line between home and garden, framing the view from the kitchen and dining space and extending the living area outdoors. The result: a tranquil, low-maintenance garden that’s as easy to live with as it is to look at.
