Miyazaki Gardens

House at the Miyazaki British Garden, Japan

Robin Templar Williams, eminent Garden Designer prepared the design of the British Garden for the Miyazaki Urban Greening Fair in Japan. Robin wished to have four garden designs for the British Garden which comprised Formal, Cottage, Meadow and Seaside centred upon a single house which had four different facades to reflect the character of each of these gardens.

 

Robin asked Mark Reeves to design this house as a focal point to each of these gardens.

We designed the house and prepared detailed working drawings for its construction. The house was built in London, deconstructed and sent to Miyazaki in a container ship where it was re-built on site. These images, both drawings and photographs show the proposals and the completed project.
