A contemporary garden design harmoniously integrating with protected native trees, featuring a floating entry path and lush sub-tropical planting in Northcote Point, Auckland.
Project Description: Landscape Design and Construction
This Northcote Point site was not without its challenges; large protected trees, residential one zoning and historical boundary quirks made this project unique - on site discussions and sketches on the backs of timber off-cuts took precedent over conventional design, as our floating entry path hopped and skipped around protected tree roots.
The result is a beautiful, lush and contemporary garden design that nestles in with the existing native trees and wider surroundings. The raw sealed concrete front fence with cedar slatted entry gates adds a clean, contemporary and inviting entrance to this North Shore home.
A lush, sub-tropical planting scheme compliments the two large protected native trees, and feature Nikau palms frame the garden beds and floating pathway.
Location: Northcote Point, Auckland
