The ME+EM City Garden

Generous planters clad in moss green and soft pink natural clay tiles overflow with planting designed to catch the soft glow of the late afternoon sun, offering a soothing retreat for the senses.

Fragrant plants, perfect for cut flowers, bring the beauty of nature into the home. A small, tile-clad seat provides the ideal spot to relax and watch the sunset, with sweeping views of the city lights. From a pergola draped in climbing plants, hangs a striking orb-like light, which casts a soft, warm glow, echoing the gentle light of the moon on a clear night. Beneath the pergola, a bespoke daybed offers space to unwind – whether for meditation, a quiet cup of tea, or to escape into the pages of a good book.

The walls are covered in clay plaster, which looks its best in the dappled light, the texture contrasting with the gloss of the tiles. The garden is a haven where design meets purpose, reflecting beauty, functionality, and enduring quality, creating a space to detox from technology and recharge the soul.
