the alchemy of gardens
Coastal garden
Accessed through a small patch of remnant bush, this family garden satisfies the lifestyle and creative sensibilities of the client. Colour-driven and initially inspired by a contemporary painting, the back garden combines a palette of moody purples, greys and hot pinks around a gravelled courtyard area. The front garden, built a year later, responds to the warmth of the building timbers with yellows and oranges, building to a crescendo of lush grassyness later in the year.
