Five Dock Serenade
Our brief commenced with discussions of simply replacing the front fence.
The design process that ensued encouraged a far more all-encompassing approach, involving a complete reformation of the home’s front welcome mat and entry garden.
Anchored by key site features and the eclectic Spanish flair of the residence, the new boundary wall frames a formerly unused entry portal to the home and serenades the adjoining street with playful curves that dip down to create an informal step up to the house from the driveway. The double skin brickwork speaks outwardly to its adjoining neigbours whilst inwardly celebrating the heritage of the residence.
Coreten steel holds levels and provides a perch for layered plantings. Foliage speaks to the textures and tones of its surrounds; softening, providing accents and screening where called for.
Our client says…
“Katy was recommended to us by a friend and we were delighted with her from our first meeting! She clearly loves her work, understood our requirements and translated them into a unique, welcoming and stylish entrance for our Spanish Mission home on a busy road.
Katy kept us informed every step of the way, and adapted her design to meet changing, and often challenging, requirements as the project progressed.
We love what she has designed, and our neighbours do too.”
