The landscape concept posits a design that celebrates a variety of experience and responds to the opportunities of site: elevation and city/river views. The scope includes a large garden to the front, rear garden, elevated planter and roof gardens. Three core landscape ideas Ancient Landscape, Grove of Mystery + Carved Space.

Carved Space

In contrast to the entrance’s sheltered grove, a clearing which continues the openness of the river, residence interior into the garden. The clearing is also reflects the geometries of the residence’s

entrance and canopy. This clearing will provide an opportunity for a lawn area, allowing

for a play space for children and for leisure. The space will appeared ‘carved’ into the garden, referencing historic parterre gardens and provide a contrast with the texture of garden.

A variety of succulents to the low depth planters to the upper levels will provide a low maintenance landscape, emphasising the primacy of the view and river scape beyond.

Ancient Landscape

Responding to the dark brick presence of the house, the landscape will evoke a quality of permanence, forest, strength and other worldliness.
