Hotham Road by Barber Design

ArchiPro Project Summary - Innovative landscape design featuring a serpentine lap pool and elegant outdoor spaces in Portsea, completed in 2000.

Location: Hotham Road, PortseaClient: PrivateScope: Landscape & PoolCompleted: 2000

In order to ‘find’ space and avoid the predictable pool location for this Portsea landscape, we redefined the driveway and mirrored the serpentine line in the pool design. This allowed a lap pool with ample walk-out and play space while at the same time creating a seductive, feminine aesthetic. The charcoal powder-coated aluminium pool fence consists of vertical members throwing shadows over the stone driveway, creating an ever-changing afternoon canvas. Glass, floating timber landings and simple planting contribute to an understated beach house garden.

About the Professional

Project Portfolio

Barber is a Melbourne-based Landscape Architecture Practice. Founded in 2002 by Sam Barber, the studio is renowned for its thoughtful, gentle and pragmatic approach to landscape design.

Refined yet congenial, Sam and his multi-disciplinary team connect clients and the architecture they inhabit to the natural world through crafted experiences grounded in wellbeing, balance and ease.

Barber’s spaces are characterised by a commitment to provenance, proportion and cohesion, where architecture and landscaping are a seamless and symbiotic expression. By listening and learning deeply, to both the site and the client, Barber creates intuitive and connective spaces, that balance rigour with joy and evolve naturally rather than forcefully.

Barber works with both private clients and architects and is well-versed in large, multi-residential and public realm projects, as well as private residences large and small.

We see every project as an opportunity to contribute positively and generously to our client’s way of life.
