Golden Spiral
From the custom fabricated outdoor mirrors to the integrated lighting in the lounge deck and the tailor made stepping stones and feature plant pots this garden is bespoke from beginning to end.
Minimal garden treatments were provided to accentuate the impressive pool, home and outdoor room elements. Designed for luxuriant living inclusions such as drip irrigation and LED garden lighting contribute to this award winning project.
The main features of this landscape include the diamond sawn white sandstone pier caps, the brahman granite herringbone driveway, impressive formal plantings with features of specimen succulents in recycled pots.
Based on the a logarithmic spiral this garden required extensive protection of existing structures through the demolition of an existing swimming pool and the construction of a sweeping spiral like face brick retaining wall.
The wall has a double bull nose capping and is raked and curved to meet the existing contours. The garden was intended to be functional, productive, provide habitat for a range of native fauna, relaxation and recreation for the owners.
Features of this sustainable landscape include the hardwood bespoke day bed, circular frog pond, custom made and sourced special dry pressed bricks, and the sustainable, productive and elegant plantscaping.
