Brewery Lane, Twickenham

Project overview

This courtyard garden which is part of the brewery lane development needed its garden updating since the development was built.

Before and after

We added a handful of design interventions into this garden to make a big impact into the daily use of the garden such as raised planters to perch among the lights and plants. We added a custom built BBQ and bin store to save space as well as keeping the space tidy. The artificial turf was saved and refreshed with more durable underlay. The patio was also updated to porcelain to reflect the interior tile choices.

Project description

Tucked away in the heart of Twickenham within the Brewery Lane development, this compact courtyard garden was overdue for a modern refresh. While the space had good bones, it lacked the functionality and polish needed for everyday outdoor living. Our goal was to introduce thoughtful, high-impact design interventions that maximised every square foot without overcrowding the footprint.

To elevate both style and practicality, we installed bespoke raised planters that feature integrated perch seating, allowing the homeowners to sit nestled among lush planting and warm ambient lighting. Storage and entertaining were seamlessly solved with a custom-built barbecue station paired with a discreet, integrated bin store, keeping the courtyard clutter-free, functional, and ready for hosting.

We also prioritised continuity between the home and the outdoors. The tired patio was replaced with sleek, contemporary porcelain paving, carefully selected to echo the interior tiles and create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. To complete the transformation, we salvaged and revitalised the existing artificial lawn by laying a robust, durable new underlay—delivering a crisp, low-maintenance green space built to stand up to daily life.
