Drawing the Drawers
This urban Garden Design Inspirations concept drawing is influenced by a bold and quirky pair of ruby red platform high heel shoes created by fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. Like the shoes themselves the garden design uses big, elegant curves to produce a three dimensional space with several levels. Shaped like a giant shoe, the garden features a raised, formed concrete platform finished with pebble mosaic to provide texture. The centre of this raised platform will feature a section of slate paving laid in a diamond formation with large pebble inlay to create a quilt-like appearance. A rose shaped water fountain will provide a focal point to the space.

This Garden Design Inspirations Shaped like a deformed arch, this pergola structure will be covered with a living sedum roof to add a splash of colour and texture. The ground beneath the arch will be paved with slate laid in a diamond ‘quilted’ pattern to echo the surface of the platform above. The space beneath the arch will feature a love seat swing, and will be made private with the addition of pearl drop hanging curtains across both ends of the structure.
Formal box hedging within a rich red and black hued planting scheme that includes elegant peonies and black iris will add to the highly sculpted, opulent feel to the design.
