Contemporary Garden, St Johns Wood

A shady, contemporary rear garden in St John’s Wood, where lush, architectural planting creates a calm, immersive feel. The rear beds use bold, textural foliage chosen to thrive in low light, giving a subtle tropical character, while the sunnier areas are balanced with cleaner planting to maintain a cohesive, modern look throughout the space.

The contrast between shade and sun is used to shape the experience of the garden, with dense planting at the rear providing enclosure and softness, and brighter, more open areas drawing light through the space. Together, the elements create a refined yet atmospheric garden that feels private, layered, and distinctly contemporary.
