Harrogate New Build – When science meets serenity
Our latest new-build transformation. This was an Autumn 2025 design followed by Spring 2026 build. Our gold package plus project oversight and planting design for one of my favourite clients to date: Tony and Andrea.
As retired scientists, they brought a fascinating level of curiosity to the table. Tony, formerly Head of Nuclear Safety Cases, and Andrea have completely embraced the biophilic design process. Given their vast experience in such highly analytical roles, their deep interest in the work we do has been a massive verification of how important these design principles truly are.
We went through exactly how these principles are integral to their space, exploring how our gardens are more than just “pretty views,” but essential links to our innate need for nature, having a profound, positive effect on both our bodies and minds. π§ β¨
As a designer, there is nothing more vital than trust. Because Tony and Andrea trusted the process implicitly, we were able to prioritise true functionality alongside a beautiful, impactful aesthetic.
Of course, a vision is only as good as the hands that build it. This smooth, enjoyable journey was a total team effort. Huge thanks to the experts behind the scenes:

Seeing the smiles on my clients’ faces at the end reminds me exactly why I love this job. Design has the power to change your lifeβ¦ if you trust the process. β¨
