Green Rooms

Dark reflective pool between lawn and white pebbles under a clipped hedge, leading to a concrete terrace with crepe myrtle, Sydney

This project in Woollahra was a collaboration with our clients and Grove Architects. To compliment the architecture and impeccable detailing inside, we designed an equally smart garden. It reflected our client’s style and their needs for their garden.

The use of steel was an important part of our design and was incorporated into the water feature, edgings, arbours and custom planters. Concrete, gravel and fine timber detailing completed the structural finishes, which were then softened with a diverse selection of contrasting foliage types.
