Lots of comments about this project of ours and it's been included in so many ideabooks! Thank you.
To answer a few questions:
Yes, the cows are real.
The paving is all natural stone, we used different types of natural sandstone in various unit sizes to create the effects and organisation of space.
The aim of the design was to create a sunken garden leading out from the basement. The garden was to be a secluded, comfortable outdoor room and not simply a 'lightwell'. The surrounding landscape is very flat and the winds can be harsh. This layout offers the homeowners shelter.
Don’t like it too square
