Overview- Large luxury garden design
Location: County Louth, Ireland
The Sanctuary Garden is a contemporary terraced garden designed across a long sloping site in County Louth. The project transforms the landscape into a series of carefully structured outdoor spaces, combining terraces, reflection pools and planting to create a peaceful private retreat within the wider garden.This garden combines terraced garden design, reflection pools, waterfalls and naturalistic planting to create a peaceful private landscape.
Bespoke designs for everything from the staircases to the furniture, the planting to the pools, all had to be considered. The result was this stunning split level contemporary garden that creates a hidden sanctuary for the client to escape the stress and strains of a busy working life. The garden features many stunning features such as Bridges, Boardwalks, a Glasshouse and a fourteen meter long infinity pool and waterfall. This garden was awarded Ireland’s best Private garden by the association of landscaping contractors of Ireland and has been featured in many leading media publications. This project forms part of Andrew Christopher Garden Design’s portfolio of contemporary gardens and outdoor living spaces created for private clients across Ireland.
