ABOUT THE PROJECT

AWARD WINNING

Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers
2012 – Highly Commended National Award Residential Design up to $50,000

This curvy courtyard is finished to the highest order, with clean lines and a strong design focus. It has a relationship with the home, whilst still having it own identity.  The key to the space is the signature low wall, with its unique and strong lines. The gardens position from the house meant that lighting was super important for this design to ensure there was night time interest from inside the house.

This curvy line provided a deeper a garden bed for deciduous tree planting (Cercis Canadensis), casual low seating walls, as well as the ability to cradle the water feature with strong planting lines (Agave, Hebe, Liriope). The installation of wide Bamboo flooring created a seamless connection to the home, with lighting to highlight the curve and seating. A water feature is centered in the garden bed, creating a central viewpoint and the relaxing sound of running water that can be heard throughout the garden.
