Toorak

Toorak garden design is a timelapse collaboration with the architects who were originally commissioned to design the garden. We were called in to rethink the feel of the garden providing a less formal approach to the outdoor space. The pool was retained from the architect's original landscape plan while we reinterpreted the hard surfaces and plantings. We spent a great deal of time consulting with the stone suppliers in Port Fairy and Hendersons in Melbourne sourcing the right rocks to make the bespoke paving. Boulders were handpicked and cut to our specifications to create a unique surface at the front entrance and rear courtyards. The two stone benches and large standing stones were also carved from boulders and craned into position. The hard landscape is complimented by lush, flowing plantings to create an intimate space that reflects the changing seasons. Photography by Andy Murray
