Maroubra
The brief for this garden was to create a private but useable oasis for this young family. Off the back of the house an alfresco dining space flows with ease from the internal lounge moving toward a small but practical lawn. Stepping stones take you to a fully tiled, heated magnesium pool with a depth of 1.8meters.
Being overlooked from the back getting the correct orientation of the cabana was vital for privacy, it has ample space for lounging and enjoying an infrared sauna whilst looking out over the layered planting. This space has a roof top garden to soften the structure and to enhance the feeling of an urban refuge.
The planting is a layered sculptural mix of succulents, olives and other drought hardy shrubs giving year-round interest and colour. Although the owner, a keen gardener, low maintenance plants allow the family to enjoy the garden without being a slave to the upkeep.
A private urban oasis designed for effortless family living—where alfresco dining meets lush, layered planting, and a heated magnesium pool invites year-round enjoyment.
