Alma Road

Location: Alma Road, St Kilda
Client: Private
Scope: Landscape Design
Completed: 2010
Our friend, client and colleague, photographer Scott Newett “loves ivy and concrete”. Barber’s staggered, floating polished concrete steps provide an unpredictable entry to the house and connect the pedestrian gate via large stepping pads floating in an evergreen sea of clipped ivy. The white powder-coated fence provides a simple beautifully proportioned highlight. The pool renovation is sympathetic to the architecture, the adjoining garden and most importantly, our clients trained eye for detail.

About the
Professional
Barber is a Melbourne-based Landscape Architecture Practice. Founded in 2002 by Sam Barber, the studio is renowned for its thoughtful, gentle and pragmatic approach to landscape design.
Refined yet congenial, Sam and his multi-disciplinary team connect clients and the architecture they inhabit to the natural world through crafted experiences grounded in wellbeing, balance and ease.
Barber’s spaces are characterised by a commitment to provenance, proportion and cohesion, where architecture and landscaping are a seamless and symbiotic expression. By listening and learning deeply, to both the site and the client, Barber creates intuitive and connective spaces, that balance rigour with joy and evolve naturally rather than forcefully.
Barber works with both private clients and architects and is well-versed in large, multi-residential and public realm projects, as well as private residences large and small.
We see every project as an opportunity to contribute positively and generously to our client’s way of life.
