Constantine Bay

Location: Constantine Bay, Cornwal 

Nestled between the rugged Cornish coastline and the gently shelving, pale sands of Constantine Bay, this garden offers a refined sanctuary for a family escape. The design reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, with a palette of soothing neutral and silvery tones that echo the coastal environment. 

The garden envelops an old barn-style building on three sides, creating an enclosed foreground that frames dramatic views of the rocky Cornish headland. 

Generous drifts of herbaceous and evergreen planting, interspersed with a high percentage of ornamental grasses, establish intimate zones around the house. The planting palette is carefully curated to ensure low maintenance while offering striking seasonal textures and movement, creating a seamless connection between the garden and the surrounding views from the house.
