The water feature and the plant ing reflect the unique land scapes of Norway - from flora and fauna to fjords. All plant species are resistant to the diverse Nordic weather conditions.

Sustainable alternatives to the traditional use of tropical and treated hardwoods are used for the decking and pavilionstructure while energy de-rives from bioethanol burners. Even the boundary wall that replaces concrete is made from recycled wood.

Our fantastic contractor Peter Dowle Plants and Gardens offers a distinctive combination of creativity, skill and experience.

The company’s team of designers, horti culturists and craftsmen are experts in their respective fields, and have brought to life seven Chelsea Gold medal gardens.

The elements The plantswaste materials from sugar-cane production to harden sustainable wood species such as pine and maple. Kebony is beautiful, durable and as stable as most tropi-cal timbers, yet practically maintenance free. It can be used for decking, wooden piers, cladding, boat decks and much more.

The planted areas are defined by natural stone from Lundhs known as larvikitt, the Norwegian national stone. The stone is also applied to terraced areas and brings the kitchen area to life with its unique pearly façade. Numerous prestigious land mark build ings such as Harrods, Blooming dales in New York and the Burj-Al-

Arab in Dubai are filled with stone from Lundhs.

Protecting the environment is intrinsic to the design of the garden. Clean energy is created from EcoSmart bioethanol burners. The boundary walls are con-structed by eco-friendly Durisol - building blocks durable for the outdoors and

made of 80 % recycled wood - linked together like Lego. The inno vative three dimen-sional glass in the pavilion from Sharda Glass provides unusual lighting effects and allows playful and creative solutions where texture, images and colour can be incorporated into a range of architectural applications. Superb glass installation con-
