Featured together, the Malvern East front garden and The Modular Garden showcase a shared design philosophy rooted in sculptural corten steel, structural clarity, and long term performance.

In Malvern East, a family focused landscape combines resilient lawn and climate smart planting suited to Melbourne’s clay soils, balancing play and durability with strong street presence. The Modular Garden, awarded Gold at the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, introduced prefabricated construction and vertical architectural thinking ahead of industry trends.

Together, they reflect a consistent approach. Structure and softness. Art and usability. Landscapes built to endure.
