This sub­stan­tial Syd­ney home required an entrance and gar­den that was befit­ting of its her­itage, while appro­pri­ate for mod­ern day use.

Revealed across 1,400 sq m the land­scape is a reflec­tion of the Syd­ney cli­mate and lifestyle, but it also takes on a Mediter­ranean influ­ence with strong focal points sup­port­ed by lay­ers for visu­al and tex­tur­al interest.

To the rear, hand­made Moroc­can glazed tiles were indi­vid­u­al­ly sand­ed for a smooth fin­ish to the pool inte­ri­or. Over­sized soft grey lime­stone cop­ing com­ple­ments turquoise waters. The cabana —con­vert­ed from the rear third of a four-car garage— inte­grates seam­less­ly with land­scape and archi­tec­ture. Hand­craft­ed venet­ian bifold doors allow the space to open up and flow while trail­ing Bougainvil­lea ​‘Scar­let O’Hara’ adds vibrant colour to the dec­o­ra­tive per­go­la. The glazed green pot and mixed plant­i­ng palette bring the gar­den together.

About the
Professional

Wyer & Co. is an inte­grat­ed land­scape design prac­tice, found­ed by Antho­ny Wyer in 2005.

Based in Syd­ney, our team of archi­tects, design­ers, hor­ti­cul­tur­al­ists and con­struc­tion spe­cial­ists col­lab­o­rate with our clients to cre­ate, con­struct, and main­tain, excep­tion­al land­scapes, for excep­tion­al homes.

Mul­ti-lay­ered, beau­ti­ful, and some­times sur­pris­ing, the spaces we design draw upon our deep knowl­edge of hor­ti­cul­ture and ecolo­gies; our under­stand­ing of the Syd­ney lifestyle and cli­mate, and the unique aspi­ra­tions and per­son­al­i­ties of their residents.

Every­thing we do is found­ed in the belief that land­scapes are a pow­er­ful medi­um to con­nect peo­ple to place, to tell sto­ries through time, and ele­vate the way we live outside.

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.
