This stylish urban oasis by Eckersley Garden Architecture is tucked at the end of a long 40m drive away offering privacy and seclusion for its owners. Despite its limited space, the landscape is generously designed for multipurpose use.

It incorporates a stunning plunge pool bordered with a partially submerged Raven granite boundary wall. A cluster of birch trees provide a central focus in the adjoining garden, their white trunks accentuated by a contrasting blood orange feature wall.

Ornamental grasses anchor the birch trees at ground level. Both the pool surrounds and the patio entertaining area feature Eco Outdoor Antico Luce cotto tiles which have been handcrafted and kiln fired using traditional techniques to provide a ‘lived in’ appearance and soft textured feeling underfoot.

The handmade cotto flows seamlessly from the garden through to the inside of the home offering a sense of continuity between the internal living spaces and the garden outside.
