The renovation of this historic home opened up the interior house to the expansive garden space. Earthwork worked closely with the architect on outdoor courtyard areas to become an extension of the home and provide year round outdoor living opportunities.
The design includes a revamped pool area including pool house and spa, an inbuilt extensive alfresco kitchen and entertaining space, a large potager area and a general overhaul of the garden to simplify the existing spaces.
Earthwork Landscape Architects is a practice based in Christchurch, New Zealand with a strong commitment to its client’s needs and the landscape, a clear philosophy and a history of top quality project delivery. The practice grew out of a rural location where it expanded its expertise in site planning and public design to a broad range of professional engagement. These original strengths in logical, well planned design and a commitment to the natural environment have been retained in our work.
The company now employs seven people, works throughout the South Island of New Zealand and overseas, across commercial, public and private projects. The practice has identified its core skills and these form the backbone of the multidisciplinary work that is now typically carried out. These core skills are site planning, landscape identity, communication and project delivery.
