A chestnut oasis

This garden is the definitive small space.  Set at the rear of a renovated worker’s cottage in Cremorne, a delightful pocket of Richmond, a stones throw from the MCG,  in a dense urban environment.

Our client had just completed a renovation in collaboration with FIGR Architecture Studio.  Part of the brief was to create a continous interface and connection with the garden.   We were delighted to design a garden that truly brings the outside in.

A small space indeed.

Formed concrete steppers with Dichondra in fill are the floor of the garden, providing a place to sit, enjoy and be in the garden, and of course a view to the garden with a seamless connection between outside and in, whilst also allowing car access to connect and charge the EV.

The steel pergola which formed part of the build gave us structure to lift the garden and provide canopy with an ornamental grape.  Urbis pots from Kelloch Pots and Planters  completed the garden.

The garden is captured at it’s best by Tom Blachford.   Thanks also  to Beatrice Whitworth who was part of the Small Spaces team.
