Design and plantscaping completed by Inspiring Landscape Solutions.

Project Brief :
-to build in an outdoor seating area where parents can relax in whilst children play;
-multifunctional and relatively low maintenance;
-compliment existing blue and white cottage weatherboard build elements and colours;
-incorporate some edibles;
-grass for play;
-material advice and selection;
-extra parking space and driveway space; and
-most importantly to preserve the existing beautiful mature Gleditsia feature tree!

Project loves:
-the play with curves and turning the steep 3m site level difference into a design advantage – this took a bit of thinking but love the way it all gelled together in the end!
-the tall corten planter boxes;
-use of soft pastels (yellows, pinks) to compliment the blues and purples in the planting palette;
-curved steel arbour and lovely subtle glass detail client added;
-play with words in naming the project (felicia is a plant used in the design and is a soft reference to the little master in the house!); and
-textural charcoal river pebbles to finish off the hardscaping.
