Woodhouse and LawOur clients on this project have very happy memories of their time in the Italian Mediterranean, which they visit each year. They were keen to make these memories last that bit longer by creating their very own piece of that special part of the world in their garden space. The billowing silver foliage of olive trees, lavender and santolina constrasts with the dark green vertical columns of cypress. Further splashes of colour are provided by, amongst others, agapanthus, cephalaria and alliums. Aged terracotta planters were imported from the Mediterranean to create real centre pieces and height interest. This garden was at the front of the property so became a talking point in the village in no time – we really enjoyed getting to meet all of the wonderful people in the village who option popped by to say hello and discuss the plants.

GreenologyThe resident along Dunbar Walk, Singapore wanted an artistic masterpiece to greet his family and visitors upon entry to the residence, and once inside the house the greenery was to extend 3 storeys high from floor to ceiling in an air well. Perched atop the cantilevered porch roof is a green wall that sits within a timber-slatted curved cladding. The purpose of this green wall was two-fold, to feature a living botanical artpiece much like a giant billboard, and at the same time act as a privacy and sun screen for the bedroom behind it. The planting scheme was a random mix of plant species for a variety of colours and textures – deep plum from Hemigraphis, lime and jade green from Philodendrons and ferns.
A vertical garden extending from ground floor up is the core feature of the residence, its design integrated with the indoor landscaping and the extensive wall space of the air well maximised in usage. To complement the air circulation provided by the air well this layer of Living Green Skin serves to improve air quality by the natural process of photosynthesis, concentrating the volume of oxygen and additionally aggregating dust particles in the air. The greenery helps in creating a pleasant environment for the owner and his family and guests to rejuvenate, relax and enjoy their time at home.
