BRINGING THE RETRO AND MODERN LOOKS TOGETHER | DREAM GARDENS!

Cinemavixion Review

Simon and Fleur Ansell's journey to harmonize their mid-century modern home with its garden is a compelling exploration of design ethos. The existing garden, a chaotic mix of orchard remnants, a derelict courtyard, and struggling bushland, presents a significant challenge. Their ambition is to create a space that not only complements the home's vintage architecture but also embraces a cool, contemporary aesthetic. The proposed design hinges on the strategic use of horizontal lines, a sophisticated 'green on green' planting scheme, and the stark, modern presence of white concrete. The central question remains: can this new contemporary vision successfully integrate with, rather than overwrite, the property's cherished vintage roots? This narrative promises a thoughtful examination of balancing past and present in landscape architecture.
