This renovated century-old waterfront farmhouse had been purchased by the clients as a retreat to entertain guests throughout the year. But since it was situated among a series of run-down sheds and a restored barn, the property lacked a cohesive feel.

The property is entered through a long meandering laneway, which is bordered with exposed aggregate concrete banding that visually connects to the parking area and the accenting paver design. On arrival, you are greeted with two very large planter box features that offer plantings of luxuriant seasonal interest and beauty. The perennials, shrubs and trees were all carefully selected to reflect the client’s tastes and lifestyle. The lighting design utilizes a wide variety of strategies and techniques, from shadowing and wall washing, to grazing and moonlighting. The result is a magical night garden that filled with wonder.
