A softly naturalised inner-city block.
At its core, this inner-city block emphasises a harmonious relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Focusing on the intersections of landscape and architecture, the design allows the young family to seamlessly move between house and garden. Informal stepping stone pathways invite you through the gardens, and into intimate natural pockets that bring a sense of wonder and relief – uncommon within the bustling CBD.
The simplistic, yet purposeful planting selection of muted silvers and greens, complements the architectural materiality of soft pink brick and white painted walls. Through an unstructured layering of hardy succulents and soft flowering shrubs emerge feature Brachychiton rupestris (Queensland Bottle) trees, which anchor the garden with their sculptural form and bring a sense of place within South East Queensland.
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.
