Nature Reserve

Client Brief

This contemporary native garden design, with a series of elements i.e. seating/water feature & screening, provided a usable, comfortable, stylish courtyard to the front yard and main entry to the house. The careful thought put into the design & detail of the cantilevered bench and custom timber work to ensure the transition from the concept design to the built outcome. Steel edging to the reflection pool to achieve a clean crisp edge through laser cut steel work.
The courtyard was deliberately designed to not obscure the views through to the Park & Golf Course whilst still providing bird attracting plants the fitted with the contemporary Australian garden. Existing trees were integrated into the design with neighbouring trees used for a mature backdrop to the space. The design sought to take advantage of the aspect & position and provide a usable space for entertaining, seating and views.

A combination of complimentary colours and textures were selected to provide seasonal interest giving the space an entertaining feel, particularly at night with the lighting design.
