Stamford

Charlie Dimmock and the Rich brothers are competing to design a garden for a family of seven in Stamford, Lincolnshire.

The centrepiece of this space needs to be a cabin that will be an extension to their home, but they would also like a contemporary outdoor space around it. With the cabin eating up the majority of the budget, the designers have their work cut out.
