Minimalist Japandi-Style
Woolooware
We created these moody, minimalist exteriors with an effortless elegance for a client who developed a luxury duplex, with his son as the builder on the project. The plan was for the client to keep one of the finished homes for himself and eventually sell the other.
Our task was to design a minimalist Japandi-style garden that would harmonise with the architecture and interior design of the buildings. The client desired a landscape that felt natural, organic, and had an element of playfulness.
To achieve this, we incorporated a playful mix of crazy paving and Hampton filetti, creating an earthy, modern-rustic vibe in the courtyards that seamlessly connect with the interior rooms of the homes. The planting design contrasts soft, wispy plant forms with more structured, sculpted foliage and leafy hedges, forming a lush green backdrop that offers a serene sense of privacy.
The destination seating area is enclosed by a low Travertine stone wall with a built-in cantilevered timber bench seat, surrounded by lush plantings. A cooling water rill spills into the garden, adding a charming water feature. Resort-style, moody lighting brings the outdoor space to life at night, enhancing the client's outdoor living experience.
