The Design Concept:
Reflecting the current economic climate, the concept behind the Austerity Garden is high design on a low budget. In being innovative with affordable materials the garden will showcase creative design solutions. Rather than disguising these materials, their raw and industrial qualities will be celebrated.
The inspiration has come from the designers personal design ethos that good design doesn't have to mean extortionate prices. With client budgets becoming restricted being innovative & creative with affordable materials has become a regular part of their design process. Mexican yards, for both planting and aesthetics, have also been a background influence.
