Landscapes Extending Harmony
Home Review|November 2018

Any landscape architect, if asked, will proudly state that there is no other occupation as delightful as his. Only he truly knows the joy and fulfillment he derives from working on each project. Todd MacLean’s gardens emanate those very same vibes just as planned by him.

Landscapes Extending Harmony

Design can be reactionary - responding only to current conditions, or it can be visionary - looking ahead to the future. A landscape is a creation - a vocabulary of form and function touched by contrast that radiates a universal spirit.

Valuable contributions can be made right from the first stage of the project by generating ideas with technical understanding and a creative flair for the design, organisation, and use of spaces. A walk into a plot seeded and developed by Landscape Architect, Todd MacLean shows you how his master strokes always result in a space that is both functional and serene. In fact, it won’t be wrong to say that his gardens have a timeless feel where everything seems to be in right place. Perhaps just another visionary offshoot!

Or just another silent piece of art where nothing is overdone and will continue to speak volumes as it stands past several sunrises and sunsets.

When an existing contemporary intra-coastal home, an oversized concrete driveway that circles the plot and an old, deteriorating pool are thrown into the mix, along with some hardscape elements, a landscape architect has a lot on his plate to deal with. Landscapes almost always tell the stories of their past. Thus it comes as no surprise that when the clients acquired the plot next door, they asked Todd to open the existing property to the new one.
