Landscape Design Plantscape GOLD
This garden was designed for multiple purposes for a recently relocated family who wanted to maximize their own environment. The client brief included key requirements such as; to be admired visually, to elevate the house box-like house architectural framework, to participate in, to produce from, as well as to play in.
A charismatically quirky garden is the result, comprising of an intensively user-friendly composition of garden spaces to account for its many needs. This including a custom repurposed water feature design supportive of the families fish collection. A custom curved sandstone feature wall and partnered bench seating opposite a built-in fire pit are two major design details. The rear seating was designed to promote comfort and is purposely orientated so conversation is fluid from across the warmth of the fire while bonding over fire crisp marshmallows. Adding to the visual interest of things large floating slabs of granite are repeated throughout the garden. They allow for subtle level changes and provide a guided access through the garden. These same slabs help negotiate level changes to flat useable lawn areas.
