Bayview

Situated on a large block in Bayview, overlooking Pittwater on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, the formal garden to this home, designed by well known Sydney architect Susan Rothwell, is a response to the Italian Villa inspired architecture and Tuscan flavoured colours of the home.

The house is set on a steep slope, well below street level, so terraced gardens, edged with Buxus hedging lead down to the front door. At entry level a chequerboard of paving and Mini Mondo Grass makes an intriguing horizontal focal point.

The magnificent Bunya Pine at the street level terrace is under-planted with hardy succulents.
