Contemporary Garden with Circular Seating in Kennington
Updated: Aug 27
This contemporary garden in Bagley Wood, Kennington, was designed around a bespoke circular seating area for family relaxation and entertaining. Its curved form, natural stone and planed oak details respond to the timber-framed glass extension of the house.
The Seating Area
The low circular wall is faced with yellow quartz paddle stone and detailed with sawn fossil mint setts. Bespoke-cut coping finishes the curved seat and creates a comfortable edge around the central space.
Planed oak uprights form both a seat back and a contemporary screen. Their strong vertical rhythm echoes the timber structure of the house extension and gives the seating area a greater sense of enclosure.
The Details
A bubbling water feature introduces gentle sound and reflection, while textured planting in purple and white softens the hard landscaping. Handmade cushions and seat pads complete the area and reinforce the garden’s distinctive colour palette.
The Result
The finished garden provides a memorable outdoor living space that feels connected to the architecture of the house. The circular layout works equally well for quiet relaxation and larger family gatherings.
