Parsley Bay

White rendered entry with timber-framed gate and brass circular motif, scalloped breeze-block screen and young jacaranda above strappy planting, Sydney

This collaboration with Hancock Architects and our clients involved a substantial renovation to the entire home and garden.  The property is directly adjacent to Parsley Bay Reserve, so we were fortunate enough to be surrounded by a variety of mature trees and palms which provided a wonderful backdrop to the architecture and outdoor areas.  A series of water features merged architecture with garden, these were further enhanced by a vibrant planting scheme which connected with the surrounding vegetation, further expanding the outlook from within our client’s home.
