New Outlooks ConstructionWhy pay for a vacation when you have a backyard that looks like this? You don't need to leave the comfort of your own home when you have a backyard like this one. The deck was beautifully designed to comfort all who visit this home. Want to stay out of the sun for a little while? No problem! Step into the covered patio to relax outdoors without having to be burdened by direct sunlight.

Boyce Design + BuildThe custom concrete water feature, with its smooth finish and Mexican beach pebble interior is a stunning focal point for the lower deck. The upper concrete basin of the water feature has a clean, stylish spillover that cascades into a lower basin creating peaceful, soothing sounds of falling water setting a Zen-like atmosphere for the entire deck.

Deck Remodelers.comThe water fall turns this privacy wall from a necessity that increases privacy into a visual and audible focal point of the living space detracting from the neighboring houses and the traffic in front of the house. Both the vase and the water fall are lit to give the illusion of liquid light with stunning effect

Aralia: Innovation in Landscape DesignChelsea Creek is the pinnacle of sophisticated living, these penthouse collection gardens, featuring stunning contemporary exteriors are London’s most elegant new dockside development, by St George Central London, they are due to be built in Autumn 2014
Following on from the success of her stunning contemporary Rooftop Garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012, Patricia Fox was commissioned by St George to design a series of rooftop gardens for their Penthouse Collection in London. Working alongside Tara Bernerd who has designed the interiors, and Broadway Malyon Architects, Patricia and her team have designed a series of London rooftop gardens, which although individually unique, have an underlying design thread, which runs throughout the whole series, providing a unified scheme across the development.
Inspiration was taken from both the architecture of the building, and from the interiors, and Aralia working as Landscape Architects developed a series of Mood Boards depicting materials, features, art and planting. This groundbreaking series of London rooftop gardens embraces the very latest in garden design, encompassing quality natural materials such as corten steel, granite and shot blasted glass, whilst introducing contemporary state of the art outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces, water features and green walls. Garden Art also has a key focus within these London gardens, with the introduction of specially commissioned pieces for stone sculptures and unique glass art. The linear hard landscape design, with fluid rivers of under lit glass, relate beautifully to the linearity of the canals below.
The design for the soft landscaping schemes were challenging – the gardens needed to be relatively low maintenance, they needed to stand up to the harsh environment of a London rooftop location, whilst also still providing seasonality and all year interest. The planting scheme is linear, and highly contemporary in nature, evergreen planting provides all year structure and form, with warm rusts and burnt orange flower head’s providing a splash of seasonal colour, complementary to the features throughout.
Finally, an exquisite lighting scheme has been designed by Lighting IQ to define and enhance the rooftop spaces, and to provide beautiful night time lighting which provides the perfect ambiance for entertaining and relaxing in.
Aralia worked as Landscape Architects working within a multi-disciplinary consultant team which included Architects, Structural Engineers, Cost Consultants and a range of sub-contractors.

Cultivart Landscape DesignThis tiny courtyard is 3.5m x 4.5 m and it forms the only outdoor entertaining area on a small site in Joondanna WA. The back of the seat is fully tiled with glass mosaics and this wraps around to form the back of the seat and to become the home for the water spout. The back walls are flat profile fibre cement painted with a corten steel effect paint work. This is to screen the ugly color bond fence behind. The deep turquoise panel is UV stable perspex which is lit from behind at night.
