The clients wanted a contemporary garden design to complement their new house build. They wanted to squeeze a lot into the space; an outdoor room, swim spa, sunken fire pit, a generous patio and lawn, and outdoor kitchen. These elements needed softening with plenty of planting. Burnt oranges, purples and whites pop out against the black charred timber cladding and pick out the corten detailing on the house and water features. Project commenced winter 2020 and was planted in spring 2022.
