Completed in 2015, Home Road is located in Parkhill Estate.
Brief:
Create sophisticated subtle spaces, embellishing the rural surrounding landscape.
Key features:
The beautifully crafted limestone walls and totara hedged entry corridor, purposely disguise the spaces that lie ahead. Large expansive seaward lawns allow for uninterrupted views. This home is nestled into the hill amongst predominantly native plantings. Swathes of grasses, reeds and flaxes encourage birds and wildlife to flourish. Vertical height and shade can be found with the exotic plantings of upright oaks and jacaranda trees in the back courtyard. The green faced ha-ha provides an unobtrusive wall from the drive below, further encompassing the subtle design approach to this magnificent home.
