Multi-award-winning garden design studio.
Lambay House
This contemporary coastal garden design at Lambay House was created in collaboration with the striking architecture of the residence. Set on the exposed coastline north of Dublin, the garden combines robust coastal planting with natural stone and sculptural forms to create a landscape that responds to the dramatic Irish seascape. Andrew Christopher Garden Design were commissioned to work with Niamh Butler architects at an early stage of the project. Infect, at the time of initial commission there was a small 1960’s bungalow on the site and the main house was in development. We were able to bring the entire project to life at a very early stage by producing detailed 3d renders of the garden and the proposed house. We also produced a detailed animation that allowed our clients to not only see their new garden but also to see their proposed new home in HD long before a brick was laid.
The garden is exposed to the harshest of salt laden winds, so the design had to be elegant and robust. The project features, resin driveway, Corten Steel elements, porcelain terraces, sculptures, bespoke furniture and a sauna with views of the Irish sea. We designed every element of the exteriors including, the entrance gates, the outdoor kitchen and even the polished concrete steps leading to the front door.This project forms part of our portfolio of contemporary and coastal garden design projects across Ireland.
