Residential Landscape Design more than 150m2

Design Brief:

Due to access issues the client only used the very top area of the garden, despite knowing it extended down the slope, past an outcrop and down into the bushland. Areas within the garden were relatively level but divided by bedrock outcrops, cliffs and retaining walls which led to a series unconnected and unused areas, an aspect the client wanted to rectify in the design.
 

The design brief was to use the whole space and create a garden that used the undefined boundaries of the site in a way that allowed the garden to emerge from the bushland setting. The client also wished to maximise the views over the woodland valley and towards the Northbridge Suspension Bridge.

Judges’ Comments:

This design works really well with the Australian sloping bushland surrounding it. A good response to an extremely complex site. An excellent result with long term potential as plantings mature.
