Small interior Zen garden

The Japanese Garden

This zen garden is located on a central courtyard that connects the kitchen of the house, with the living - dining area and main access hall. As you can see it is glazed on several sides, each view after concluded the work is slightly different. This time, only put a lamp in Japanese style to give the night lighting environment. This is a sample of a Zen garden that carries an implicit minimalist in design. The conditions in the house are basically clear and minimalist tones, it is for that reason that it was decided to this design. Few elements, well distributed, with a mix of different textures, from coarse gravel and dark gray color, contrasting with the white gravel and raked; allows us to balance the wabi sabi and the scene.

Apiary Studio

A private children’s foundation hired award-winning architecture firm, Christoff : Finio Architects, to renovate and remodel the classical-style townhouse structure into a modern and light-filled headquarters. Christoff : Finio contacted Hans to develop a planting plan for the intimate, rear courtyard gardens as well as a planting scheme for the front tree bed. We carefully selected plant material that could thrive in an extremely low-light environment while providing seasonal interest and color as a counterpoint to the modern interior. Herbaceous flowering and evergreen plants were selected to drift through each other with intermittent vertical accents, creating a lush courtyard border.

Stilul contemporan de amenajare adoptat evidențează clădirea prin formele geometrice propuse. Prin aceste forme s-au creat spații variante pentru activități de relaxare. Plantele alese sunt plante de umbră și semiumbră. Acestea oferă decor prin port, ramuri, foliaj, flori și fructe. În perioada iernii vor decora exemplarele de mahonie cu foliaj persistent și exemplarele de iederă, dar vor exista și pete de culoare oferite de ramurile de culoare roșie ale exemplarelor de corn variegat. Întreaga amenajare oferă un loc ideal de relaxare pentru angajați. Băncile sinuoase sunt integrate în jardinierele de corten oferind numeroase spații de relaxare și dihnă. Formele sinuoase adoptate oferă posibilitatea de a explora locul și de a reduce efectul de claustrofobie oferit de clădire.

Perth City Commercial Landscape Design & Install

Perth Landscaping

Perth Landscaping Group recently completed a full design & install for the 169 Hay Street building in Perth’s city centre, handling the Landscape Design, Project Management, Construction, and full Irrigation system. The client was looking for a feature garden to be created for the entrance of their building. Right in the city centre, and facing the main road, the space was an empty, sandy eye-sore – and they wanted to make a statement. Now, our client’s building has a gorgeous, lush oasis by the entrance to welcome their visitors and employees, instead of a barren, empty space.

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
