West 22nd avenue

new build | riley park

The front yard of this Leckie Studio house lays in the perfectly filtered light of an impressive English oak. An intricate, low planting scheme is only interrupted by 3 elegant Disanthus cercidifolius, and is framed by our local interpretation of a mixed hedgerow.

Here, we favoured a tone-on-tone approach to the material selection: concrete-stucco-sandstone-crushed basalt

A favourite locally quarried sandstone is used two ways: as large raw blocks (like erratic boulders) to substantiate the front yard, and smaller, dimensionally-cut brick-size pavers for secondary walkways.
