Bespoke Cedar Garden Entrance in Kennington, Oxford.
Updated: Aug 27
This garden entrance in Bagley Wood, Kennington, was redesigned to create a clearer and more welcoming approach to the property. A bespoke cedar gate and pergola walkway frame the route, while granite plank paving, gravel and soft planting connect the entrance with the contemporary timber-clad house.
The Build
The existing retaining walls and steps were retained as a sound substructure, then refaced to give the entrance a cleaner, contemporary finish. Granite plank paving set within gravel creates a clear route through the garden.
A bespoke cedar gate and pergola walkway frame the approach and connect visually with both the cedar-clad property and the woodland studio beyond.
The Planting
Swathes of feather grass soften the paving and timber structure. Their movement and fine texture provide a natural contrast to the strong lines of the entrance.
The Result
The completed entrance is practical, distinctive and closely connected to the architecture of the property. This project was delivered in collaboration with the London-based design team Locorumand.
