About
The Brief
Having relocated from the hustle and bustle of city living, to this quiet coastal setting, the clients were looking to create a relaxed haven to enjoy year round. Being garden enthusiasts the planting design was a key focus, with the intent to develop a scheme that met both style and site specific requirements, also complementing the newly renovated home. Given the waterfront location, and the clients love of garden, the creation of a number of pause spaces to facilitate immersion into the outdoor areas was crucial.
The Concept
The rear garden backs directly onto the beach, so it was important to define the backyard boundary without heavily impacting views to the water beyond, in effect blurring the lines between backyard and beach. Low level, aesthetically pleasing fencing combined with hardy mass plantings were utilised to achieve this.
Given the significant setback of the house from the street, the incorporation of a large format custom concrete walkway within the front yard, with functional spaces hanging off of this, was also a focus. The setback also afforded the opportunity to consider the creation of a layered garden providing interest from the street, privacy to the front yard and softening to the architecture.
