Kassiopia
Client: Skinner and Skinner Design
Planting: Jennifer Gay and Piers Goldson
Location: Corfu
Situated in the northwest of Greece, Corfu is one of the most clement places in Greece to make a garden, with high rainfall, fertile soils and low wind levels. The four acre Kassiopia Estate sits on a rocky headland in the mountainous northeast coast of Corfu, enjoying breathtaking views over the Corfu Straits to the Albanian mountains to the east. Work started 10 years ago on the construction of a summer retreat at Kassiopia by architect Dominic Skinner, who trained and worked with Norman Foster and Partners in London. Planting is by the very talented Jennie Gay and Piers Goldson of Mediterranean Landscapes
