Heritage Restoration, Sydney
Landscape Design Woollahra
This elegant home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was a collaborative project between Michael Suttor (architect), and Denai Kulcsar Design (interior design), who are both known for their timeless and polished style, and Adam Robinson Design (landscape design). ARD were asked to create a garden that reflected the classic and refined style of the house and interiors.
“The garden was intended to be a bit loose, wild and overgrown – nothing too formal or manicured,” says the home’s owner.
The home’s backyard is essentially at the front and side of the house, and privacy was needed from the streetscape. Camellias sasanqua (Camellia) was used as screening for this. Magnolia 'Teddy Bear' (Magnolia) and upright Olea europaea ‘Tolley’s Upright' Olive Tree trees were planted to screen the view from neighbours and create privacy.
All larger planting was underplanted with a mix of Salvia 'Santa Barbara' (a dwarf form of Mexican Sage), Arthropodium cirratum (New Zealand Rock Lily), Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' (Spur Flower), Plectranthus argentatus (Silver Plectranthus), Viola hederacea (Native Violet) and Dichorisandra thyrsiflora (Blue Ginger), Anemone x hybrida (Japanese Windflower) and Hydrangea macrophylla (Hydrangea)
Trachelopsermum jasminoides (Star Jasmine) was planted to grow vertically to green up and soften the pergola structure as well as to create the diamond-shaped espalier wall for the pool area. Star Jasmine is the perfect plant for this with its neat, dark green leaves and fragrant flowers.
The generous terrace is a beautiful entertaining space overlooking the pool and lawn. Traditional concrete pots were planted with Buxus japonica topiarised (Buxus Ball) and chic, black painted timber cross bar planter boxes house Citrus aurantiifolia (Lime Tree).
Providing a lawn for the young children in the family encourages them to play outside and explore the natural environment and have the freedom of running, jumping, and kicking a ball around.
A Laurus nobilis (Bay Tree) a stunning evergreen frames the entry to the front door adding a touch of sophistication and classic beauty. The total end result is a home that displays a timeless and tasteful beauty.
