Family Garden banner

This garden was designed to be multifunctional for a family who wanted to maximise their own environment. The client brief included key requirements such as; to be admired visually, to elevate the house box-like house architectural framework, to participate in, to produce from, as well as to play in.

A charismatic idiosyncratic garden is the result, comprising of an intensively user-friendly composition of garden spaces to account for its many needs. A water feature divides the space and allows user engagement. It was designed to make allocations for the family’s existing fish collection. Fluid structural forms of a curved sandstone feature wall and partnered bench seating opposite a built-in fire pit are two major design details. The rear seating was designed to allow comfort and promote family discussions from across the warmth of the open fire.

As with most of the garden beds due to the size restraints allowable in the design, interest had to be provided efficiently. Architectural accent feature plantings, seasonal flowering perennials, ornamental grasses, variations of succulent style planting combinations, topiary, conifers, wall climbers, autumn colour. The front garden even addresses an awkward rectangular void by transforming it to an ornate formed maze style parterre as an interesting entry detail on view to the front door.
