From its contemporary sculptured “swing” to its solid stone walls, this Kensington garden is a fabulous instance of classic and contemporary design working in great harmony from Australia’s personal Secret Gardens. Set against its Federation house, the understated elegance of this green space gives the client a preferred “Mediterranean” and modern day really feel with no jarring clashes of style or substance. Ivy covers an complete wall of the residence, framing long windows and contrasting nicely with lighter-green low-lying plantings in beds beneath it. And…it’s “green” in more approaches than 1: recycled bricks are paired with sandstone and timber for an earth-friendly spot that attributes contemporary plants and mirrors. The outcome is a group of cozy outdoor “rooms” that wrap themselves around you in a cocoon-like feel that invites lingering.
A tidy gray wooden gate permits access and egress for a tiny stone patio terraced beds of trimmed shrubbery and young trees make the most of an incline. Sets of stone measures lead from the house’s back door to the a variety of garden “rooms,” with much more trimmed shrubbery as complementary borders. A covered alfresco dining region segues into an open-air lounge spot with built-in plush-cushioned stone couch and coffee table, plus casual wicker chairs, cautiously screened by high bushes and a handful of methods above the smooth green lawn. A second entertaining location tucks itself at one particular finish of a spacious pool, with comfy covered seating and stone benches on the side. Topography with a bit of a challenge, answered effectively: that is this comfy series of outside “rooms” from Secret Garden.
