The homeowner uploaded 12 photos of their yard

We rebuilt their garden from above

Hadaa synthesised an aerial map of the space from the photos — the foundation every design is built on.

Six design directions — and the one they chose

Their garden, from every angle

We then viewed their new garden from all angles.

The same garden, in every light

And what it looks like at different times of day and across the seasons.
