How We Met the Brief

The client’s vision was to create a comfortable corner retreat in their garden without detracting from its traditional stone walls and mature greenery.

We installed a B200XL pergola in anthracite grey, chosen for its modern elegance that pairs beautifully with the rustic backdrop. To ensure the space was usable all year round, we added two automated screens in a soft light grey – offering privacy, wind reduction, and heat retention.

A colour-matched heater was fitted to keep the area warm even in the colder months, while integrated white LED lights provided subtle illumination to extend usability well into the evening.

The Result

The result is a cozy, flexible outdoor living space that feels at home within the character of the walled garden. By combining modern features with a sensitive design approach, the pergola has created the perfect spot for dining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the view of the garden all year round.
