An intimate city garden transformed into a lush urban retreat

Featured in House & Garden, this project explores how thoughtful landscape design can transform a compact urban site into a garden that feels generous, immersive and deeply connected to nature. Through layered planting, carefully considered materials and the creation of distinct outdoor zones, Nathan White demonstrates how even the smallest spaces can become meaningful extensions of the home.

In the article, Nathan shares his approach to designing for compact gardens, including techniques for creating depth, maximising functionality and establishing a sense of enclosure without sacrificing light or openness. The project offers practical insights for anyone looking to make more of a small outdoor space while creating a garden that feels established, inviting and enduring.
