Settling a Home into the Paddock.

A home of this scale needs a garden that can hold its own. Settling an impressively large dwelling into a cleared paddock requires design that works across every register — form, flow, function and feeling.

This Tasmanian native garden design brings together entertaining areas, food production, cut flower gardens, space for children to roam, open paddock, parking and places to simply sit. The nearby nature reserve, rich with endemic orchids and native wildlife, set the tone from the outset.

What followed is bespoke throughout. Custom features, water-wise planting and a holistic approach to productive living give the garden its structure. Repetition of materials and form keeps the space coherent while leaving room for the unexpected — a little rustic without being tired, a little quirky without being unsettling.

Modest in feeling, particular in character and designed to grow alongside the family that calls it home.
