Bulwer Avenue Garden
of North Perth House
This home, with its garden and house in deep relationship, considers and expresses the beauty of the domestic through connecting daily life to landscape. banksia & lime, the client and Simon Pendal Architect worked together to achieve an extending and embedding of the house into the landscape through verandahs, openings, stairs, trees, shrubs and a mirroring of the utility areas of the house in the garden. The garden feels ever-present from within the house resulting in the client feeling “like we are in a holiday home.”
The client’s vision was "a quirky bush garden with a homestead feel." Strategic placement of diverse native trees and shrubs creates the woodland feeling of being surrounded by nature. Three fruit trees, one for each child, grow and morph as the children do. The lawn area will eventually transform into a vege garden for the children to grow food at home. "It has transformed the yard into a space that we can be in and see ourselves growing in." (Client)
"Future Perfect, designed to morph with the years-long changing needs of a young family, this deeply thought-out garden lies ready for anything.” Green Magazine issue 94
