A garden for a football fan. Black and white colour scheme suggests the garden would suit a Newcastle United fan!

Winner of a silver-gilt medal. Encompassing all the main elements of the club this 'city garden' is modern, bold fun and functional. A sacred pitch is the main focus within which a steel turf sculpture picks out the hexagon of the football.

The black and white planting creates a Mexican Wave effect along the raised terraces. The outdoor living theme is reinforced by bold seating, splash pools, TV wall and a cool box. A stadium style pergola provides shelter and lighting increases the drama at night.
