We were engaged by Platinum Asset Management to create a garden across their terraces on Level 8 and level 9 in the heart of Circular Quay.  The brief was fairly open, they wanted a variety of areas to cater for a variety of uses.  Our focus was to ensure that these break out areas, be it for meal breaks or informal meetings, would be set amongst abundant foliage, far removed from the city skyline. A series of steel custom planters, over 90 in total were arranged to create movement, encourage exploration amongst a relaxed and private environment.  The plant palette was simple, species were chosen for their hardiness and selected to respond to the breeze so there is almost always movement when viewed from within the building.

Completed: 2018

Location: Circular Quay

Scope:

  • Landscape Architecture
  • Construction
  • Horticulture

About the
Professional

We pride ourselves on providing a personal yet professional service, focused on clear communication and attention to detail; this is where we excel. Creating gardens is an organic process by nature, they take time from planning to completion and beyond; we never lose sight of the responsibility that comes with this collaboration and the trust that our clients have placed in us.

Listening first - Creating second

Our clients are diverse, unique, yet still like-minded, recognising the value in considered and well-resolved gardens. We have a common goal, and though it’s a journey we share, we are confident and experienced to take the lead. A process to reveal the requirements of our clients’ lifestyles, then create a considered balance between their brief, the architecture, and surrounds, whether it be in an urban context or more open or natural setting.

Our gardens are renowned for intelligent design solutions that celebrate our clients’ individuality, combining meticulous details and beautiful materials with unique and inspired planting combinations.

Since 1994, Secret Gardens has been connecting clients with their outdoor environments. Over this period, we have built and maintained a reputation as a leader in the industry, across each of our disciplines.

Our team offers a wealth of experience and diverse skillsets. Our clients enjoy a holistic approach that offers the services of full-time landscape architects and designers, landscape construction specialists, and experienced horticulturists. We collaborate with an extended network of consultants and skilled contractors as required, to ensure our projects are delivered to the highest of industry standards.

Though our work is concentrated on the residential market in Sydney, our projects are varied not only in style and scale but location as well, reaching beyond our core local market, spanning both regional and interstate locations. We embrace the unconventional and the challenging, be it courtyard gardens, rooftop gardens, or more extensive landscapes including acreage.
