Japanese-Inspired Curved Roof Garden Arbour

Design Brief:

This bespoke timber garden arbour was designed to blend aesthetic elegance with everyday functionality. The client requested a unique seating solution with shelter for relaxation and reading, incorporating clean lines with Japanese influences. The result is a sculptural, hand-crafted arbour with a distinct curved roof and integrated bench seating.

Constructed from pressure-treated timber, the structure balances strength with elegance. The curved roof and framed open sides add architectural interest while allowing climbing plants to grow around it naturally in time. Built to provide a calm retreat in the garden, the arbour serves as a practical and beautiful focal point.
