context is so important and as much as we (at greencube) love designing the gardens for modern new homes with zero thresholds, minimal and contemporary design we also love to diversify. Here we have designed a garden for a victorian foundry in Walsingham in North Norfolk converted into holiday cottages in the last decade. The foundry originally founded in 1809, making iron castings for farming industry, war casualties ended the male line and so in 1918 it was sold to the Wright family and they continued to trade until 1932, the depression caused its closure. In 1938 it was purchased by the Barnhams who made agricultural implements, pumps, fireballs, backplates, stokers, grates and ornamental fire baskets............ and so we have paid homage to the cottage and its history and implemented lots of wonderful weathering steel, someone said 'its a bit rusty' we hope you like it, its a rich and developing patina that seems to get warmer and richer in colour on a weekly basis....
