C O U R T YA R D left and opposite There are multiple

gardens and ponds on the property; the vertical garden

was Mel’s pet project. Vertical garden plants from Newtown

Garden Market. The spa has a retractable lid that is covered

in artificial turf to maximise the courtyard space when it’s not

in use. Terry fashioned the outdoor table from offcuts of decking

and recycled steel. Clement Meadmore Corded chair, Rudi

Rocket. Potted plants, all Garden Life. Sofa (in sitting room), Ikea.

STUDIO Thanks to a bedroom in the loft, the studio doubles as

self-contained guest accommodation. Vintage chair, reupholstered

by Maurer and Strange. Cushion, Chee Soon & Fitzgerald.

Curtains, Mansours. Hoop-pine bookshelves made by Terry.

timber, I move windows from one

house to another. I do it partly for

the cost benefit but also to keep

materials out of landfill.’ Te r r y Bail
