Location: Christchurch, New Zealand.

Completed several years ago, this Christchurch villa garden has now grown and settled into itself.

A formal composition anchors the front of the home, setting a quiet, structured tone. From here, lush perennial borders guide you through the property, softening the transition and gradually revealing the more secluded spaces beyond.

At the heart of the garden, a woodfire grill is framed by warm timber cabinetry and open shelving. Nearby, the garden spa sits nestled within layered planting, offering a true sense of privacy and retreat.

Tucked away down the side of the house is a private outdoor shower - an extension of the bathroom. Inspired by our client’s love for the beauty of the West Coast bush, this outdoor shower was designed to create a strong connection to the outdoors, offering a secluded pocket of nature just beyond their doorstep.
