It uses eco friendly, energy saving LED lighting to grow plants, herbs – any pot adaptable vegetation anywhere in the house. And no …

Lanarkshire: Tailored Driveway Design in Motherwell
The aim of the design is to reduce the impact of the hard landscaping on the effect of the property – a traditional sandstone semi. Monoblock is certainly far too modern a material to use and the budget ruled out using traditional stone – the driveway area will be at least 110 sq m! The medium choice is the tumbled block which comes in 3 sizes and always looks handsome when installed.

Hammocks today are stylishly designed, scientifically engineered and, we have to imagine, a whole lot more …

Glasgow South: Mediterranean Garden Design in Newton Mearns
The garden presents an awkward tri-angular shape which isn’t normally very easy to work function into. We could implement a rectangular theme, with the base lines off-centre from perpendicular with the house – perhaps at 90 degrees to either fence might work; but I wanted to achieve an introversial garden which would create an urban haven rather than one which stretches the boundaries of the space and tries to reach beyond the fence line. A large dominant circle presented a good base from which to build the different elements of the design upon.
