A broad terraced lawn and garden frames the view to the lake beyond of this residence on the lakeside of Clearwater. Screening to the side boundaries emphasises this view-shaft whilst providing privacy to neighbouring properties.
A series of outdoor seating areas have been created around the house including a main alfresco area leading down to a pool. The grand entranceway is framed by planting creating a sense of arrival that emphasises the bold building design.
Earthwork Landscape Architects is a practice based in Christchurch, New Zealand with a strong commitment to its client’s needs and the landscape, a clear philosophy and a history of top quality project delivery. The practice grew out of a rural location where it expanded its expertise in site planning and public design to a broad range of professional engagement. These original strengths in logical, well planned design and a commitment to the natural environment have been retained in our work.
The company now employs seven people, works throughout the South Island of New Zealand and overseas, across commercial, public and private projects. The practice has identified its core skills and these form the backbone of the multidisciplinary work that is now typically carried out. These core skills are site planning, landscape identity, communication and project delivery.
