The Gatehouse Garden banner

The Gatehouse is an historic Federation home with three street frontages and a beautiful large veranda. The clients wanted a garden that was designed with the interior in mind and vice versa so that the delineation was blurred and which spoke to the interior feel and era of their home. A ‘picking garden’ with lots of seasonal variety was also requested.

Our design response was driven by the belief in a unified design aesthetic both inside and out, having designed the interiors. This was achieved by reflecting the colours and textures from inside in the outside plant material colour and textural choices. In designing the interiors, we ensured that the garden vistas became a feature of every room; through the windows and French doors.
