The Chelsea Barracks Garden
This is a communal garden for people to relax and socialise, with an eliptical lawn and curved edges.
Grey stone (Italian basaltite) is used throughout the garden. It's highly polished in areas where it will get wet, to look darker. There is also some watery texture carved into the paving.
Roses and perennials are the main plants to feature around a relaxing lawn.
The garden will be relocated to the Royal British Legion Village in Aylesbury, Kent.
