Residential Garden.

This week we had the pleasure of visiting our clients to see our working drawings come to life.

This residential garden is one of the larger gardens completed in the Wakatipu Basin recently. Located at Millbrook Resort near Arrowtown, the garden represents the ambitions of overseas based New Zealand clients that sought a semi-rural sanctuary within the resort.

The clients brief required a family home for themselves and their sons. The clients sought a degree of formality and structure to the project, referring to classical / semi formal European garden designs, with a New Zealand overlay. Fundamental to the design brief was an ease of flow throughout the garden, a series of spaces connecting seamlessly together and providing opportunities for surprise and privacy, and the ability for outdoor spaces to engage visually with the all-surrounding wider panoramic views.

The garden is still relatively ‘young’ and will require 2-3 more years of growth for the landscape forms to be fully evident.
