The Home of Many Gardens
Location: Victoria (VIC)
Size: 1,250 sqm
Status: Detailed design underway. Construction Q3 2026.
The Challenge
A newly built home sat within a large, open 1,250sqm site. The clients had strong instincts and many good ideas, open lawn, productive gardens, gathering spaces, seasonal planting, but no clear structure to hold them together. The risk was a garden that felt scattered, high maintenance, and expensive to build without delivering real spatial clarity. Scale was both the opportunity and the challenge.
A slow procession through the garden, where paths, planting, and everyday rituals quietly unfold.
The Gramina Response
Using the Personalised Plan as a foundation, the garden was organised into a deliberate sequence of rooms. Structured, geometric forms anchor the space close to the house, gradually loosening into meadow, grassland and orchard beyond. A central meadow spine creates cohesion, while distinct zones, fire pit garden, spa grasslands, productive garden, seasonal tree grove, each carry their own mood and purpose. The design balances generosity with discipline, allowing variety without chaos and ensuring long term manageability.

The Garden Now
The result is a garden with both freedom and order. Large open lawn is preserved, but framed. Productive and ornamental planting coexist without conflict. Movement is gradual and immersive rather than exposed. What began as many separate ideas is now a coherent landscape that can evolve over time, structured, buildable, and ready to move toward construction.
