What we offer

Peninsula Bay - Full Residential Design

The house designed by Architect Anne Salmond involved a challenging slope from the road up to the entrance to the house.Our involvement was the overall landscape design including the parking, entrance, pedestrian access / circulation, outdoor spaces and planting design and overseeing the implementation ofour design. 

As a design response the slope was broken down into a board formed concrete retaining wall planted area to give privacy, one carpark and a set of small steps through a dry tolerant garden to large timber decks at the front door.

Monte Christo Vineyard

This project was to establish a new vineyard, tastings rooms and accommodation on the site of the first original vineyard near Clyde, in the South Island in 1864. The tasting rooms have been located in the original stone cottage.  

The landscape response makes connections to the surrounding landscape and back to the lands past history through references to the original native vegetation, agricultural / vineyard history and local materials used. 

Where possible trees have been retained including a large walnut tree which provides a focal point to the site dwarfing the original cottage.
