This stylish character villa in Remuera, conceals one of our flagship residential projects of this year. This remarkable property sits at the back of a steep sloping lot, facing to the west, allowing for plenty of sunny moments on a bright day. Using its naturally sloping layout, our designer created a formal French-style inspired garden covering the 630 m2 all the way to the back. Creating an equally impressive entrance, with plaster rendered concrete blocks used for all retained walls, the path leads you naturally down the slope. In these boxed planters, clipped box hedges form the backbone of the garden and the parterre. Plantings within the clipped hedges can be voluminous and slightly unruly, but the garden will always have a feel of formality with those crisp hedges. Arriving at the back of this garden you will be welcomed by a safely enclosed pool and entertainment area, before heading out onto a lush green lawn. Up on the deck and elevated walkway, all the unique areas of this garden can be enjoyed all year around.

An example of commercial landscaping at its finest with this landmark project in one of Bupa’s Retirement villages. We provided Bupa’s Retirement & Care division with a customized approach to its newest facility in Albany. With a focus on creating multiple easy access ways to several enjoyable outdoor spaces, we designed and built these stunning gardens for the residents. Spanning multiple sections, including an enclosed patio in the dementia area, gives this unique project a versatile edge. Accessibility and safety were top of mind throughout the complete design process. Flat surfaces, non-slip materials on paths, ease and comfort on walking routes, and enough shelter and protection from rain and sun, are just a few elements showing that this garden has a very people-focused-design approach. Meandering your way through all the unique sections of this Bupa Retirement Village allows the residents to enjoy the gardens while feeling safe and at home.
