Medium Garden

A lawn with level difference connected to a lightweight looking white wall in front of this modern design architecture.

Elevating the landscape to new heights, Bulleen Garden epitomises the seamless integration of design ingenuity and natural topography. Developed in collaboration with custom house builder Latitude 37, this project navigates significant level changes, showcasing a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and practical construction solutions.

The thick yet lightweight feeling white wall bounds the garden bed and lawn, creating a seamless landscape.
The white wall matches with the grey exposed aggregate concrete driveway, creating level difference with the lawn below.

The front fence stands as a testament to innovation—a lightweight construction foam wall in a rendered finish adds contemporary elegance and serves as a canvas to the design. A curved wall graces the landscape, mirroring the sophisticated façade design and creating a visual echo that resonates with the overall architectural narrative.

The stepped design on the white lightweight wall creates contrast with the gradually slopping lawn.

The landscape’s backbone is the robust concrete sleeper retaining wall demonstrating a fusion of strength and style that masters topographical challenges and adds a sculptural dimension to the outdoor space. The challenge of an 700mm narrow site access also encapsulated the intricacies of construction.

As you traverse the grounds, the exposed aggregate concrete underfoot offers a tactile connection to the raw beauty of the landscape. Bulleen Garden is a symphony of innovation, where every challenge meets creative solutions, and every design element narrates a story of collaboration and craftsmanship.

The modern front garden design with details like white lightweight wall with curve but thick edges work well to create a seamless sloping front topography.
