This new build property was built around three years ago. As is often the case with new builds the garden had little of interest offer – a very small patio, lawn and no planting. The client wanted a modern, family garden, with areas for dining and relaxing, and child-friendly spaces to play. The new design follows the curve of the existing boundary wall, using wide curves to create the illusion of space and to split the garden into different areas for dining and relaxing. A deep, wide curved path laid with sawn, honed sandstone joins the lounge and kitchen doors and sweeps across to the left hand side of the space wrapping round the corner of the building towards the garage door. Steps lead down to the lower area adjoining the rear of the garage where the floor is laid with a large patio of sawn honed sandstone in a contrasting hue. A bespoke seating area is enclosed by a rendered block retaining wall separating the lower area from the rest of the garden. Two hardwood curved benches form a semi-circular seat. The deep bed behind is densely planted to provide screening from the neighbours. Deep planting runs along the edge of a curved central lawn, edged with flexible metal edging to produce a crisp clean finish. To the right of the space a curved pathway, laid with black basalt planks in a radial pattern, runs around the side of the house from the utility room door to the patio directly outside the lounge doors. In the top right hand corner of the garden, an oval patio is inset with a contrasting curved section of black basalt. This area provides informal seating and nocturnal focal point through the patio doors, with a corten steel fire table for night time entertaining. The curved basalt pathway also helps to divide the children’s area, tucked around the side of the house, from the rest of the garden. This includes a wooden wigwam, an outdoor black board on the wall, and hook for a hanging ‘cocoon’ seat suspended from the boundary wall. Play bark provides a safe surface. A corten steel edging strip creates a low boundary between the play area and the rest of the garden. Planting in the space is modern and contemporary with areas of block colour and seasonal perennials.

This four-story home underwent a major renovation, centering both sustainability and style. A full dig out created a new lower floor for family visits that opens out onto the grounds, while a roof deck complete with herb garden, fireplace and hot tub offers a more private escape. All four floors are connected both by an elevator and a staircase with a continuous, curved steel and bronze railing. Rainwater collection, photovoltaic and solar thermal systems integrate with the surrounding environment.

The backyard is proposed with a vintage feeling. Space is combining pathways, patio, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, swing, and colorful and different plant turfs. The backyard was converted into an ideal environment to hear the bird noises and rustling sounds of nature.

A wild, native spirit radiates out from within the structured lines and angles of the hardscape - softened by a lush and biodiverse selection of California native plants in a velvety palette of soft silvery grays, greens, and purples with the occasional pop of yellow and orange.
