Marrickville
This water sensitive garden has a distinct Australian character. Pepo responded to the hot, dry and windy microclimate with a hardy collection of plants and iconic palette of materials. Corten steel and recycled timber were used to build windbreaks, railway sleepers were used with stainless steel wire to form a sculptural clothesline and locally-sourced sandstone sits amongst sweeps of silver and rust coloured planting. A magnificent, existing Jacaranda mimosifolia anchors the garden with an outdoor eating space underneath.

Everyone who comes around the corner to our back garden says… WOW!
