The site has existing large trees that needed to be worked around and highlighted.The bottom of the site backs onto the Heathcote river and a naturalised planting strip and the balance of planting was to merge into and complement the larger wooded backdrop.Due to the renovated house being raised higher than its prior finished floor levels due to flood plain requirements, hard landscaping elements needed to seamlessly flow outwards from the interior spaces and comfortably settle the house into the site anew.
