We can all agree that the following statement is just as applicable to us in Victoria:
“After nearly a year of confinement, our outdoor spaces have become sanctuaries of solace and sanity. Naturally, landscape design has become top of mind. Even those who call city apartments home are finding ways to integrate the gentle presence of nature into their dwellings”.
Of particular interest to SPASAVIC was the following observation, which we believe is just as relevant to Australia as it is to the USA:
Christine Ten Eyck of Ten Eyck Landscape Architects says that while swimming pools are as popular as ever, it’s no longer a case of the bigger, the better. “Smaller swimming pools take up less green space of urban properties and give the illusion of swimming in a fountain-like water body surrounded by lush landscape versus a sea of paving.” She notes that outdoor showers are also high on people’s wish lists: “Showering or bathing surrounded by the intoxicating fragrance of plants in a completely private small garden gets the day started right.” The article outlines the folllowing key trends:
• Gardens with purpose
• The world outside your door
• Peaceful plannings
• Invasive gardens begone
• Subtle lighting.
All interesting trends that are just as likely to be a focus in Victoria - and Australia-wide as we emerge from the pandemic but still look to #holidayathome.
