n6 garden, london

This rear garden in Highgate, North London is surrounded by mature trees and enjoys a secluded woodland setting. A timber trellis fence allows filtered views out to the woodland edge, preserving a visual connection beyond the garden’s boundary.

Four curved Cor-ten steel raised beds define a planting scheme tailored to shade tolerance and year-round interest, featuring varieties such as Anthriscus ‘Ravenswing’, Thalictrum ‘Black Stockings’ and Eupatorium ‘Baby Joe.’ Two Acer ‘Bloodgood’ trees were chosen for their striking foliage while native-mix hedging along two sides adds privacy and biodiversity.

The newly constructed steps and decking - which required planning permission - replace a deteriorating structure that once spanned the full width of the rear façade.

Carefully selected lighting and furniture enhance the property's architectural style and contribute to the garden's contemporary atmosphere.
