South Coast Garden

The design decisions for this project were all guided by context. The site, the big sky and the heroic house do all the talking, and the garden provides a place for this spectacle. Like a lot of simple compositions, it takes an immense amount of consideration to get the layout of the elements just right.

We elected to have a very restrained approach – this project involved real landscaping rather than garden making.  It was an exercise in landforming and contouring the ground to offer amenity and settle the residence into the site.
