A refined garden designed to extend the character of a Victorian terrace home.
Site Context
The existing architectural details of the home were treated as a guide rather than a constraint. Every material and planting choice was made with the Victorian aesthetic in mind, ensuring the garden felt like a natural continuation of the home rather than something added to it later.
Planting Strategy
A lush, layered green palette forms the backbone of the design, softening architectural edges while creating privacy and calm within the inner-city setting.
Outcome
As the garden matures, the relationship between architecture and planting will continue to soften, allowing the home and landscape to feel increasingly connected over time.
The result is a calm and enduring inner-city garden that respects the heritage of the property while creating a quiet sense of retreat within the heart of Melbourne.
