By Secret Gardens
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.

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.
