Design Work - Mathew Hull

Hohmann garden, Essex

The Hohmann garden was designed to create a relaxing and functional spaces that would allow for a number of different activities, including sunbathing, eating outdoors, play, drying washing etc. Planting played a heavy part in the design of this garden, taking up nearly half of the space. The mixture of york stone and planting gives a fresh and durable space for the family to use for many future years.

Golden lane Wildlife retreat, London

This project was designed to focus on a small part of a much larger estate. It was noticed that birds use the estate as part of a wildlife corridor running across the site. This design was supposed to attract a range of birdlife and also provide a place for the people of the estate to feel protected from onlookers and spend time viewing the new wildlife on the estate. Planting was used to screen and define space whilst also providing food sources for birds.

Flagestad garden, Lesja, Norway


This design involved a planting scheme that had to tolerate low temperatures down to -30/-40 and still flower during a Norway's short summer. The design had to work around all existing features in the garden and work to a low budget that only really allowed for planting. The space needed to provide easy access to the house and allow space for 2 dogs to exercise in.
