The blustone paved steps going up to the front yard of the mansion, with diversified selection of plantations around.

In the front is the sophisticated mansion facade, and the garden front black picket fence matches with the high-class design of the architecture. Greyish bluestone paving forms the groundwork, working with other garden elements forming the subtle elegance of the front garden, refined yet still inclusive.

An elegant garden bench, matching with the french design style. The details on the bench add taste to this high class garden design.
Bluestone pavings as stepping stones, creating a path from the entrance to the front porch.

The stepping stones and garden furnitures are not only functional, but also giving a touch of classic British garden design, adding aesthetic value to this outdoor space. This forms a seamless fusion between the modern style design and the classic timeless garden.

The sideway of the building creates a enclosed private space, with the vegetations providing shading, people can have their own relaxing time here.

Travelling through the more refined and private side gardens, it lies the feature outdoor swimming pool. The transition from the subtle yet inviting front yard, to the more enclosed sideways, and eventually to the back open space forms a complete journey, allowing the full enjoyment of the openess in the feature pool area.

The strip of lawn bounding around the pool also add layers to the back garden, bring in more sophistication and modernism aesthetic. All details, like the railing fence or seats, are carefully selected to match with the overall design of this great mansion and garden.
