A natural water feature, working with the existing gradient of the land to establish a low maintenance garden surrounding the water to attract birds and other wildlife.
I engaged Jayne to come up with a design for my small back yard. While this may sound straightforward, I had not only hundreds of photos but a multitude of ideas; to include a deck, a spa, a fire pit, a BBQ space and many others.
The brief for this garden was to create a plan for the split level site, which incorporated an outdoor fire, a courtyard to plant herbs, vegetables and fruit trees, an art studio and a spa pool.
This project involved creating a full landscape concept for a new build property.
The brief for this work required a sensitive approach to the site, as it incorporates a remnant stand of Kanuka forest. The challenge was to blend a beautiful natural coastal environment and the new home together.
