Our aim was to create a garden that was sophisticated but also relaxed. With Studio Esteta transforming the interior of the house, the garden needed to match the contemporary yet soft palette, drawing inspiration from the coastal landscape just a short stroll away.
The front garden is all texture, undulating mounds of clipped foliage contrast against soft grasses and gravel. The rear garden features long planted steps leading up to the lawn and plunge pool. We wanted the pool to be immersed in the garden so two sides of the pool feature a negative edge. This allows the plants to grow right up to the water’s edge.
Landscape Architect: BWLA
Construction due to commence mid-2021
At BWLA, we are passionate about great design. Being able to create a space for someone that reflects who they are, but also enhances the way they live, is what inspires us. Our gardens need to perform in so many ways. Whether they are an escape from the business of life, a place to entertain and be social, or to produce food to eat and flowers to cut; they need to fit seamlessly into how we each live every day.
We understand that the success of our work relates to how well the garden speaks to the architecture of the house, but also how it respects and blends with the landscape beyond. Working on gardens from courtyards to acreages, from coastal to rural and city properties, we love the challenge of working in different environments, different cities, and different climates. Each site has its own story to tell and we feel privileged to discover and tell these stories.
