Tucked away in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, this secluded garden was created as a private sanctuary, a tranquil space where the client could retreat twice a day to practise yoga and reconnect with nature. Achieving a sense of deep stillness in a town centre setting was a quiet challenge, but the result feels far removed from the bustle of everyday life. A gentle trickle of water moves through the space, soothing the senses while softening the sounds of the surrounding streets. Nature is present in every corner, from the rustle of foliage to the shifting patterns of dappled light across the planting, encouraging calm, focus and quiet reflection. At the centre, a spacious terrace made with thermally treated timber provides room for movement, meditation or simply sitting in peace. Although designed with yoga in mind, the garden invites anyone seeking a moment of stillness beneath an open sky.
