Nunawading

[Webpage under construction!] Nunawading project to be completed Feb ’23.  Design and plantscaping completed by Inspiring Landscape Solutions.

Project Brief :

• to build in an outdoor seating area where parents can relax in whilst children play;
• multifunctional and relatively low maintenance;
• compliment existing blue and white cottage weatherboard build elements and colours;
• incorporate some edibles;
• grass for play;
• material advice and selection;
• extra parking space and driveway space; and
• most importantly to preserve the existing beautiful mature Gleditsia feature tree!

Project loves:

• the play with curves and turning the steep 3m site level difference into a design advantage – this took a bit of thinking but love the way it all gelled together in the end!
• the tall corten planter boxes;
• use of soft pastels (yellows, pinks) to compliment the blues and purples in the planting palette;
• curved steel arbour and lovely subtle glass detail client added;
• play with words in naming the project (felicia is a plant used in the design and is a soft reference to the master in the house!); and
• textural charcoal river pebbles to finish off the hardscaping.

Pictures (limited angles) taken in Nov ’22 after completion of majority of works.  Professional shots incoming in Nov ’23/24!
