This Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal winner uses Abodo Vulcan timber to form an inviting structure amid lush planting.
Created as an antidote to the fast-paced corporate world, Sanctum forms a shield of charred timber and sandstone amongst leafy planting, providing a quiet place to take a breather.
"The garden, situated in a shaded courtyard area of just 3 by 4 metres, uses a minimal material palette of buff sandstone and Abodo Vulcan wood to enhance the serene atmosphere,” says the designer. It features a carefully crafted, contrived naturalistic planting style and natural materials that are minimal yet soft to the touch. This softness was essential to the design, adding another sensory layer to the cocooned seat.
