• You require a garden design to connect with the character of your house. This design will provide you with a series of intimate outdoor spaces while holding onto the open flow of the existing site. • You share your home with your two teenage children Nicholas and Anna aged 17 and 14. This design process will provide your family with areas to lounge, dine and entertain.• Your site’s history remains in the keeping of the high ‘factory walls’. The design will carefully consider this context and explore your interest in the ‘walled garden’ concept.• The style of the garden will suit your site, the house and personal taste. Thus an element of formality, cottage planting, and a ‘Tuscan look’ will be considered.• We will consider the garden’s visual impact from the different rooms within your house. • You would like the primary outdoor dining space to be sheltered. We will explore the design of this structure within the context of your house and site. We discussed the inclusion of a built in barbeque in this area.• A lighting scheme will work with the garden layout to make entertaining and dining outside friendly and appealing.• Outdoor furniture to suit the designed spaces will be included in this process.• You are happy to include an edible element, subtly within the garden. We also raised the possibility of fruiting trees.• Storage will be an important component within the design. We will look at utilising any storage space as a multi-functional garden item. For example a seating / stor age element as discussed.• You would like the concrete driveway space to remain. We will look at ‘treating’ it, to make more visual appealing, however will not be removing it.• We will include details such as a clothesline, bin storage, irrigation and compost into this design process. Where necessary these items will be screened.• As discussed the sites drainage and soil condition will be assessed. Functional solutions to any drainage and soil issues will be included in this design process.• The development application for the house and garden is open, we will leave it as such pending the need for council approval for any proposed work.• We will have your garden installed prior to Christmas 2011.

Site inspiration and brief

Site inspiration and Brief

The site previously was a portion of a rubber factory.

Decision to keep the industrial gates. An interesting aesthetic and succesful function.

Decision to keep the factory walls. These walls offer a great design opportunity. Their size and grandeur comes from the past. This connection to the past could be explored throughout the garden design.

Formal planting meets industrial history. These dark steel beams display longevity and strong architectural lines.

A combination of Camellia hedge and buxus hedge to soften the outdoor ‘walled garden’ room.

The walls adjacent to be left open and covered with ficus and climbing plants, defining the shape of the wall and reflecting in the mirros mounted on these ‘factory walls’

The free form sculpture will be prominent behind layers of for-mal, soft planting.

The philodendron will hold its form and contrast the formal and cottage quality of the buxus and hydrangea. White iris will be used in the foreground.

Three layers of planting will be used. Each layer will reach a height to provide interest from inside the house however will not obscure any light.The cycads will sit closest to the boundary. The alternanthera will be pruned to create a beautiful dark purple hedge. The agapanthas will continue the purple colour how-ever provide more transparency.The Dicondra will be used to plant between the pavers.

Hedge, Driveway, and bin area

A deciduous magnolia will be used to provide colour for the gar-den. This tree will screen the driveway and provde a filtered view through to the metal sculpture.

Beneath magnolia will be sculpted mounds of strobilanthes and agapanthas continuing the colour and planting style of the garden.

Running adjacent the house this raised garden bed will take your focus away from the driveway and screen the services.The planting will be ornamental and functional. The selected edibles will be chosen for both these reasons. A lemon tree will provide height in this garden.

The driveway edge will be hidden with dicondra growing over it. Running along the northern boundary will be virbunum hedge screening the fence and taking your focus away from the driveway. As this garden bed narrows the hedge will become ‘Star Jasmine’.Behind the storage container, will be a manchurian pear. This tree will be a tall element within the garden to scale against the high house wall.
