JAPANESE INFLUENCED GARDEN

Name:

Corinella Garden

Status:

Completed

Location:

Wantirna South, Victoria

Project Scale:

Small Garden

A Japanese influenced garden in front of a modern design architecture, surrounded by green and purple vegetation.

Assimilating our clients desired to revitalise their family frontage of 25 years with functional Japanese influence resulting in this stunning transformation of Corinella’s front garden.

The enhanced street appeal, additional security, and upcycling of materials done by PATH are in complement to the history of the homeowners and their garden’s fresh new beginnings. 

Black picket fence giving off a subtle but elegant feeling alongside with the boulders and vegetation.

Hugging the front boundary is a new front fence with 300mm high walls and black steel ‘blade’ infills set between pillars rendered to match the home. 

The entry and automated driveway gate are in the same black steel design cohesively tying the build forms colour p alettes together. A new 2m high timber paling fence on the left-hand side provides additional security from the adjacent public space.

The dark charcoal concrete ground and vegetation glimmering the ambience light under rain.

Entering through the pedestrian gate transports us to a lush space speckled with deep greens, dapples of red foliage, and consciously re-purposed rock boulders. Many of the originally established trees were also retained to add a richness of history to the garden. The layering of plants and the addition of six Japanese Maple trees completed the soft planting artistically.

Boulder edge garden bed alonside the entrance walkway, with carefully chosen plants.

The dark charcoal of the concrete pathways together with the black mulch accentuated and meandered one’s views through the curving walkway. The step treads leading up to the front door are also gently emphasized with thin steel join strips. 

The extra wide driveway doubles as both a drive-in drop-off zone and as a show space for the client’s car collection. 

The garden lighting casting shadows and enhancing the texture of feature boulders.

At dusk, the magic begins with the garden lighting up via the smart home system. The integrated pathway lights, step lights, and garden bed up-lights bring a new exquisiteness to the unique landscape every evening. 

Subtle vegetations are planted in this garden, creating a mature, beautiful environment.
