A natural water feature, working with the existing gradient of the land to establish a low maintenance garden surrounding the water to attract birds and other wildlife.

This client had a difficult sloping bank, with a heavy clay structure. In addition the property was elevated above a harbour, so was exposed to the prevailing salt laden winds.

The brief for this garden was to create a plan for the split level site, which incorporated an outdoor fire, a courtyard to plant herbs, vegetables and fruit trees, an art studio and a spa pool.

This project involved creating a full landscape concept for a new build property. The brief for this work required a sensitive approach to the site, as it incorporates a remnant stand of Kanuka forest.  The challenge was to blend a beautiful natural coastal environment and the new home together.
