The tour will showcase a variety of furniture designed and crafted by Mike McMahon Studio, highlighting the techniques used in their creation. You’ll see everything from lighting and tables to chairs, sofas, beds, and cabinetry—all made by the owners themselves. Their work has been featured in publications globally, from China to the US.
The tour will also include the balconies which demonstrate what is possible from a modest sized central city elevated garden. The 'junglette' balconies contain a number of exotic plants including tree ferns and have a pond with native species. These were the inspiration behind Mike and Jewlsy's garden design for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2024. Their garden called 'The Addleshaw Goddard Junglette Garden' received a gold medal and was one of three gardens visited by the King. These have been published in multiple publications and have appeared on the BBC Gardener's World TV programme.
