One of the greatest aspects of my work is helping people realise a vision. For this project, a bare paddock was transformed into a stunning garden, in preparation for a beautiful country wedding.
This is a perspective sketch of a garden I am currently working on. It will help my clients visualise the area which is not easy to do from a 2D plan view. The concept resolves a tricky area where the land is sloping off in different directions.
In March last year I posted my design concept for a Gidgegannup property with lake views. I recently went to visit Michelle and Rod, to see their completed garden. It is almost a year since I did the design for their place and it has now been built by Grassroots Exteriors. They are very happy and it has given them the chance to get outside and enjoy the beautiful trees and nature surrounding them.
In this small garden I made use of some interesting angles to maximise the space. The triangular lawn and raised beds at the back add some shape and interest to what would otherwise have been a confining area, dominated by the two storey home. Read on to see what the clients said.
I have been doing some work for a very talented building designer Jason Saunders of Arc 7.1. He does things a little differently and is not afraid to push the boundaries of design. I recently submitted this landscape concept for a large hills property. The house is not built yet but is a fairly complex design with some great geometry.
This project in Gidgegannup has a lovely aspect overlooking a lake through jarrah forest. Instead of trying to create an artificial garden around the home, the concept design proposes a space where the owners can enjoy the view and the natural surrounds.
