Stair Project

A long winding pergola over a raised walkway located at Inverforth House public garden sets the scene for this project....

Measurements were taken and drawings of the existing structure were produced.

The requirement is a stair from the raised walkway to the garden and then to the lower forest level with the inclusion of a "21st Century nymphaum"

Such a thing seems somewhat parodoxical to me. However I have decided to use the image of the fairy toadstool, the sort of thing found by Alice in CS Lewis' popular story, in my design.

The toadstools are to be connected by occasional steps in groups of four. The lowest group of four steps gives access to a circular raised bed within the formal garden, steps in groups of three connect this to the forest.
