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.

Revegetation
This project involved the planting of a very steep north facing slope at the entrance to Wanaka. The revegetation required the use of a geotextile matting which was pinned over the slope to reduce erosion and provide a biodegradable mulch for the eco-sourced native plants from the Wanaka area.
