Remuera Garden 2

Set within a tightly framed site this garden features a simple paved terrace and lawn alongside the swimming pool and spa set against a richly textured stone wall. Strong foliage planting including Kentia palms, citrus, strelitzia and mondo surround a simple bench seat in a private nook adjacent to the kitchen. A mature Copper Beech provided the inspiration for plantings of rich red camellias, burgundy cannas and deep purple pineapple lilies.

A sophisticated water feature creates a journey leading from the arrival court to the entry to this contemporary home. Lit after dark, the textures of the stone, the delicacy of pygmy date palm fronds and the sound of moving water provide a rich sensory experience.
