Forest Garden
PROJECT
Natural materials and permeable paving such as gravel, concrete cattle grids in the driveway and a large wooden platform as a terrace have been used as much as possible. The light gravel forms a beautiful contrast with the dark facade cladding of the house.
The planting is characterized by a mix of ornamental grasses with colourful perennials. Supplemented with various, mostly native, shrubs and trees. The flowers, fruits and berries attract many bees, butterflies and birds, an express wish of the residents.

PROJECT
This setting called for a classic, more formal design.
A center path creates a vista from the house leading to a stone fountain imported from the south of France. Along this path, a timber pergola stretches across the width of the garden, dividing the space into two seating areas – a larger one for dining and a smaller, more intimate one for relaxing.
Bellingen can be very humid and hot in summer; hence the creation of shade was a priority. A good number of trees, such as Waterhousea, Native Frangipani and Magnolia Teddy Bear were planted.
The clients also requested an outdoor bath. Framed by two white Crepe Myrtles the concrete bathtub and copper shower are set in their own garden room paved with cobblestones.
On the western side of the house, a steel pergola was installed and covered with climbing plants to provide further protection from the afternoon sun.
In the front garden, large pots planted with Cycads were added, while Wisterias were used to frame the entry veranda.
At night, lighting highlights the features of this garden beautifully.
Overall, this classic Bellingen Garden is a peaceful retreat that combines formality with practical considerations for the local climate.

Coastal garden (AU)
PROJECT
Recently, we completed a stunning coastal garden project in Sapphire Beach, Coffs Harbour. The original space was a grass slope that we transformed into a multi-layered garden with the use of corten steel and rock boulders.
One of the main features of this garden is the use of native plants, which are perfectly suited to the coastal climate and environment. The combination of these plants with the steel and boulder elements creates a unique and visually striking landscape. We also used the natural slope of the land to our advantage, creating a series of platforms that flow seamlessly from one to the next.
Overall, this coastal garden is a perfect example of how native plants and natural materials can be used to create a beautiful and cohesive outdoor space. The combination of form and function makes this garden a true pleasure to be in, whether for relaxation or entertaining. We are thrilled with the end result and know that our clients will enjoy this space for years to come.
