This dream coastal home is surrounded by lush native plants and all the amenities needed for a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. The landscaping elevates and cushions the contemporary architecture, settling this property into its natural place.
Mark Bell, creative director at Bell Landscapes, says this project is remarkable as it is the result of a long-standing collaboration between the owners and landscapers. "This home is unique as it has doubled in size since the clients first engaged us many years ago," he says. "It's great to see its evolution."
For the most recent round of landscaping, the owners wanted to bring the local natural surroundings into the home, creating a series of green spaces that complement the architectural design. "Every room has a view of the gardens. The main living zone spills directly onto the central garden courtyard, which offers a wonderful natural connection to the entire ground floor. The majority of the plantings are Australian natives, ornamental grasses and accent plants or succulents that add interest and texture. Feature trees and some tropical plants add height and shade where required," reveals Mark.
