With clear design direction from our client, we crafted a landscape that flows effortlessly from the home through to the pergola, pool, and spa. Strong modern lines anchor the space, softened with layered planting and clever privacy solutions that create intimacy without compromising style. The result is a cohesive outdoor environment that feels calm and connected.

This project required us to work closely with the clients to ensure their specific design needs were met. The design itself had to take into account - the restricted size of the site; its proximity to gully land; and their need for it to meet entertaining requirements for themselves and their teenage children.

This residential project included several custom concrete pieces crafted by the team, including, entranceway walls, a concrete timber shutter fireplace and a seating area. These worked in nicely with the pool and kwila decking to create a cohesive entertaining area. The pool surrounds were complemented by lush foliage.

The client envisaged a Central Otago vista for his landscapes, so tussocks, carex and rocks were incorporated into garden beds. Bluestone pool surrounds and pathways complemented the modern architecture of the house while maintaining the connection to the land.

The house itself overlooks neighbouring farmland and the Waikato River, and the soft and hardscaping connect seamlessly to that surrounding environment.

This Tamahere address was curated to have layers of interest within its design. The landscaping definitely makes its own statement, without detracting from the grand feel of the house.
