An informal amphitheater surrounded by lush planting, sets the tone for a garden that follows the contours of its natural slope.
Details
A garden that takes ample advantage of its sloping landscape and existing mature trees, this quiet Parnell enclave embraces its elegant frontage, before it opens up to a heavily planted rear garden supporting stone walls that create an informal amphitheater setting.
As the house level is set down, the walls emerge as they approach the terrace.
A more open central area connects the garden with the home – an even flow that embraces welcome hospitality in a relaxed environment.
Tonal stonework connects the planting with the home’s natural interiors, and provides a harmony that allows the garden to grow confidently into itself with minimal maintenance.
