A well thought out practical solution successfully implemented around the preservation of existing large mature shrubs and small trees that give excellent privacy to the site when viewed from the public domain.

A well-balanced functional design, excellent choice of hard materials, finishes and planting species with excellent attention paid to colour, form, texture and arrangement resulting in a totally unified site with clear definition between plant masses and non-plant areas.

The location of the driveway and turning spaces are functional, well sited and graded. The access to the front door is easily identified and direct. The garden ornamentation is sophisticated and discreetly placed.

It is refreshing to see that the garden lights are well considered and placed to provide safe adequate lighting without excessive illumination. The casual circulation throughout the garden invokes a feeling of contemplation, surprise and discovery.Judge’s Comments – Stuart Pittendrigh
