Site inspiration and brief • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The site previously was a portion of a rubber factory.
You require a garden design to connect with the character of your house. This design will provide you with a series of intimate outdoor spaces while holding onto the open flow of the existing site. You share your home with your two teenage children Nicholas and Anna aged 17 and 14. This design process will provide your family with areas to lounge, dine and entertain. Your site’s history remains in the keeping of the high ‘factory walls’. The design will carefully consider this context and explore your interest in the ‘walled garden’ concept. The style of the garden will suit your site, the house and personal taste. Thus an element of formality, cottage planting, and a ‘Tuscan look’ will be considered. We will consider the garden’s visual impact from the different rooms within your house. You would like the primary outdoor dining space to be sheltered. We will explore the design of this structure within the context of your house and site. We discussed the inclusion of a built in barbeque in this area. A lighting scheme will work with the garden layout to make entertaining and dining outside friendly and appealing. Outdoor furniture to suit the designed spaces will be included in this process. You are happy to include an edible element, subtly within the garden. We also raised the possibility of fruiting trees. Storage will be an important component within the design. We will look at utilising any storage space as a multi-functional garden item. For example a seating / stor age element as discussed. You would like the concrete driveway space to remain. We will look at ‘treating’ it, to make more visual appealing, however will not be removing it. We will include details such as a clothesline, bin storage, irrigation and compost into this design process. Where necessary these items will be screened. As discussed the sites drainage and soil condition will be assessed. Functional solutions to any drainage and soil issues will be included in this design process. The development application for the house and garden is open, we will leave it as such pending the need for council approval for any proposed work. We will have your garden installed prior to Christmas 2011.
Decision to keep the industrial gates. An interesting aesthetic and succesful function.
Decision to keep the factory walls. These walls offer a great design opportunity. Their size and grandeur comes from the past. This connection to the past could be explored throughout the garden design.
Formal planting meets industrial history.
These dark steel beams display longevity and strong architectural lines.
