Created for Golden Homes within Beachgrove, this showhome garden was envisioned as a standout feature at the gateway to the development — a landscape that immediately captures attention and reflects a strong sense of arrival. Porcelain paving paired with rendered masonry walls establishes a refined entrance, creating a polished and memorable welcome that complements the architecture of the home and the wider streetscape.

At the heart of the design sits a striking half-buried 300kg Hapuka boulder, carefully chosen to echo the character of the entrance to the entire development. From within the home, the outlook is beautifully composed, with specimen trees, sunken and elevated planting spaces adding depth and structure, and a tranquil water element softened and surrounded by fragrant lavender. Native planting, handcrafted timber screening, carefully detailed tree supports finished with stained posts and natural jute ties, along with subtle evening illumination, bring richness and cohesion to a setting that carries just as much presence after dark as it does in daylight.
