By Pollen Workshop
Planted in 2014 this project focusses on maintaining and highlighting a rural lifestyle in smaller farm park parcels of land.
Brief:
Create an iconic open woodland farmpark with rolling pastures and bridle trails.
Key features:
The serpentine roads that roll over knolls and gracefully sweep through valleys set the scene for this farm park on arrival. The Chestnut lined roadways give way to limestone trails as you descend towards the Tuki Tuki river. Swathes of Oaks, Elms and Cedar weave through the valleys and hug the bridle trails. The generous open spaces and pastures set Euchre Farm apart from other parks to generate a truly rural and iconic rural enclose.
THE POLLEN WORKSHOP WAY
I believe in simplicity and most importantly, sustainability. This design philosophy has been shaped largely by the rural upbringing I enjoyed on the coastal environment of the East Coast of New Zealand.
Life on a farm requires a simplistic functionality. As guardians of the land, sustainability is required to ensure we hand a better environment to our next generations. Pollen Workshop looks to use these values of simplicity and sustainability in all of our design, be it rural, residential or riparian management.
Pollen Workshop is a small, independent Landscape Architecture company based in Te Awanga, Hawkes Bay. Our design philosophy is centered around the creation of simple, highly functional spaces. This ethos can be seen everyday at our Pollen Workshop coastal HQ.
I graduated from Lincoln University with a degree in Landscape Architecture in 2007 and worked in Melbourne before moving back to Te Awanga, Hawkes Bay in 2010. I have been practicing here ever since.
I look forward to seeing you at The Office for a coffee and to chat through your project soon.
