Quiet, native, coastal.

A front entry garden designed to feel calm, considered, and at home in its coastal setting. Our role focused on the arrival to the home, drawing on native planting and natural materials to complement the architecture and the existing rear garden by Dangar Barin Smith.

Still from Grand Designs Australia featuring host Anthony Burke with Ed Lippmann and Sonya, inside the Rose Bay home overlooking the rear garden.

Featured on Grand Designs Australia in November 2025, the episode brought together host Anthony Burke, architect and homeowner Ed Lippmann, and Sonya to explore the story behind the house and its landscape.

View from a Rose Bay front garden looking toward the Sydney city skyline at golden hour, featuring a silhouetted Banksia and Pennisetum grasses catching the afternoon light.

As the day settles, the garden shifts. The Banksia stands silhouetted against a golden sky, Pennisetum grasses glow in the low light, and the city stretches out beyond. The planting was chosen to feel at home in moments like this.

A view worth framing.
