south crescent cross

A largely native landscape of clear geometry, made with salvaged 2nd hand timber and bricks, and concrete paver seconds, on a gently sloping Northcote site.

The bricks were used to terrace the site, creating three distinct garden zones: close to the house a paved terrace and pond in a local Melbourne grassland planting, in the centre a wide gravel terrace skirted by native trees and shrubs and at the rear a more exotic planting framed by a steel and timber grapevine arbor.
