THE DETAILS

Judith Rust lives here with her husband, Michael. Their outdoor space is a rectangular, split-level cottage garden, in a village in Dorset.

THE CHALLENGE

Their garden was largely cast in shadow by a large apple tree and had a sloping incline that went up towards the back of the garden.

THE PLAN

The couple wanted a low-maintenance space with structure and privacy that was an extension of their renovated cottage.
