Country Elegance
This luxury country garden design in County Meath was created for clients who wanted to transform their rural property into a refined outdoor living landscape. The design reshapes the entire site, connecting orchards, meadow planting and elegant garden rooms to create a sequence of spaces that celebrate the surrounding Irish countryside.
The garden itself sits on a steeply sloping site in the heart of the Irish countryside. We redesigned the entire layout from the entrance, right back to the top of the hill and included some stunning features along the way. At the heart of the garden sits a beautiful oak-framed garden room which we called the Barn. Our clients wanted a space where they could enjoy the garden year-round and welcome friends and family.
This triple glazed fully insulated garden room features five meter-wide bi-fold doors, log burning stove, crystal chandeliers and a bespoke home bar. This stunning room faces on to the reflection pool with views of the surrounding countryside.
At the top of the meadow and beyond the orchard you will find the Whiskey room. This is a specially commissioned shepherds hut with bespoke interior for the ultimate whiskey lover.

Lush perennial planting and ornamental grasses soften the architecture and integrate the entertainment space into the surrounding country garden.
