Gordons Bay

Inspired by sweeping lines synonymous with Art Deco architecture, this home stands like a gleaming sentinel proudly overlooking the expansive coastline in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

To complement its sleek and stylised features, the Pepo design team began by selecting plants that offset the hard surfaces of the building, without detracting from its features.

Sculptural forms and gentle layering governed the plant selection. The Opuntia ‘Burbank Spineless’ and Santolina Chamaecyparis were specially chosen for their distinctive form and shape. Meanwhile, the total vision was brought to life by bursts of pink Carpobrotus glaucescens, dotted among the greenery.

Quiet, secluded nooks and open spaces are harmonised to provide continuity, style, and character. Seating in the front garden beckons the family of four and their dog to enjoy the sun and linger. It’s a place where they can sit and enjoy the ocean views while relaxing in their very own private paradise.

Our Story

Talented visual artist Nicola Cameron established Pepo in 2000, looking to weave her experience in photography and film into a different and creative living medium. Landscape design and horticulture provided the perfect platform to conceive her beautiful creations, passion for unique design aesthetics, and love of plants.

In 2007, Nicola’s husband James Perkin was appointed Construction Manager of Pepo, joining a team of specialists dedicated to turning a client’s dream into a practical and beautiful reality.

Hundreds of alluring gardens, courtyards, balconies, and rural retreats have been brought to life since the business began and the team continues to provide a premium landscape architectural service, brimming with creativity and inspiration every day.
