Where the Mediterranean meets subtropical Queensland.

With an intent to celebrate the Mediterranean style in a contemporary light, the strong architectural form of Arcos is anchored with a mature olive tree, grounding the home with its scale, age, and sculptural form. Surrounding gardens are richly planted with a blend of native Australian and Mediterranean species, creating a highly textured composition of silvery tones, matte blues, and deep greens.

Opportunities for planting are integrated throughout the architecture, with raised gardens, vertical growing structures, and connections to natural ground. The long, suspended planter wrapping around the rear of the building is a prominent feature of the property, hosting a mixture of cascading sun-loving groundcovers. Framing the expansive entertaining space in a curtain of greenery, these hanging gardens create a lively ambience under filtered sunlight.

About the
Professional

Founded in 2015 from modest beginnings and an intent to do good on the land we live, Green Care Project has grown to be one of the most impactful environmentally conscious landscape firms on Australia’s East Coast.

Early on, we recognised the power that exists within an integrated model. We have progressively built a multidisciplinary organisation that spans across the domains of Landscape Architecture, Landscape Construction, Horticultural Maintenance and Environmental Consultancy. Our highly collaborative approach allows our team to leverage knowledge and decades of experience from each other, ensuring a deep understanding of the landscape process and what’s required to deliver unrivalled results.

Our headquarters based in the heart of Fortitude Valley was established in 2021 with the aspiration of being a naturalistic inner-city studio that fosters creativity and innovation. Our work takes us across the diverse regions of South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, a land we’re truly fortunate and grateful to call home.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
