Dizzy Heights

Curved infinity pool with frameless glass balustrade and timber deck overlooking the ocean, landscape design by Secret Gardens Dover Heights Sydney

This project was a collaborative effort with Bruce Stafford Architects and the second with our client. The site is perched 80 metres above the ocean with dramatic and uninterrupted views to the east. Our garden design and layout are clean and simple and encourages movement from inside to out and across the site. A lookout, which was an engineering feat was created to provide an even stronger connection with the ocean for the brave. The plant selections durable to withstand the often-hostile environment.
