This is one of the most exciting sites ever tackled by Balston & Company.
High on rocky cliffs on the coast north of Dublin, it has breathtaking views over Dublin Bay and on to the Wicklow mountains.
A new house subject to stringent planning constraints was designed for the site by Barratt Lloyd Davis and Associates.
Working in close collaboration with the client and architects, a new garden was designed to complement the house and cope with the difficulties of a steep slope subject to frequent gales.
We were glad to be able to take advantage of this unusually warm location to grow plants which elsewhere in Britain and Ireland are of marginal hardiness.
