Michael Mansvelt Design

Michael's work is bespoke and tailored to your needs. In our case we engaged Michael to come up with a house, interior and planting plan to optimize our site and meet a number of needs for our growing family -- for now and the future. Not only do we have something that is functional, but it's beautiful, unique and gives us optionality as time goes on.

We contracted Michael early on in the design process for our new build. He drew up a great concept plan for the landscaping which worked really well with the Architect’s mid century modern aesthetic for the house. This enabled the hard landscaping to be completed during the construction phase of the house. The 3D computer renderings of his ideas really helped us visualise the end product. Michael listened well to our brief and came up some really creative solutions for the topographical challenges of our site. He protected our privacy, but at the same time maximised our Seaview. Although the planting is ‘ still a work in progress’, the stages completed so far, such as the Washingtonian Palm Avenue; look stunning. We can’t wait for the rest of the garden to be finished so we can enjoy our new home.

We have worked with Michael on many projects he provides World Class Landscaping, and is able to work around our fussy preferences we have also found the plants actually grow well in the areas that places them.
