Residential Garden more than 151m2 - Design Brief:
To create a super slick, bold contemporary design for a young family and their soon to be built modern home. Entertaining was a big part of the client’s life and the garden needed to create spaces which allowed that to happen.
A feature front fence was created with the use of masonry blade walls and feature steel soldiers which opened up the garden from the streetscape while still providing the required security. A front courtyard was created with the use of a floating bench seat which was structurally repeated with the feature front letterbox. The front courtyard gives the space a sense of functionality and also captures the morning sun and is visible from the front office.
The rear yard consists of a large alfresco deck, fire pit, large pool and spa and large level lawn areas for the young family to play on. Level management also needed consideration and both the pool and decks use levels to their advantage to create striking features. Greenery needed to be viewed from the kitchen window which led us to create a vertical garden.
