We are thrilled to share an update on an exceptional project we’ve been working on in collaboration with Jorge Hrdina Architects. Nestled in the picturesque suburb of Castlecrag, this property has been a dream to bring to life, blending architectural excellence with thoughtful landscape design.
A harmonious partnership
Working alongside Jorge Hrdina Architects has been an inspiring experience. Their vision for the property emphasizes a seamless connection between the built environment and its natural surroundings. As the build and interiors near completion, the gardens are stepping into their own, serving as the perfect complement to this remarkable home.
Embracing existing beauty
One of the most rewarding aspects of this project has been the opportunity to work with the property’s incredible existing flora. Majestic, gnarly Banksia’s and towering Tree Ferns provide a sense of history and character that cannot be replicated. Preserving and enhancing these natural elements has been a guiding principle in our design approach.
A garden with a view
The property’s gardens are further elevated by panoramic views overlooking Sailors Bay. These sweeping vistas serve as both a backdrop and a focal point, influencing the placement and selection of plants to ensure the landscape enhances, rather than competing.
Design highlights
Respecting the site: The existing Banksias and Tree Ferns have been carefully integrated into the new landscape design, creating a sense of continuity and honoring the site’s natural heritage.
Layered planting: A thoughtful mix of native and complementary species has been used to create depth, texture, and seasonal interest.
Coastal resilience: Given the proximity to Sailors Bay, the garden design incorporates hardy, drought-tolerant plants that thrive in the local climate while maintaining a lush, inviting aesthetic.
As this project approaches its final stages, we are excited to see the gardens grow and evolve, enhancing the property’s connection to its stunning surroundings. This collaboration has been a true labor of love, and we can’t wait to share more as the space comes to life.
Stay tuned for the official unveiling, where we’ll showcase the full beauty of this extraordinary property and its harmonious integration with the landscape.
