The result is an extra modern yet minimalistic property at the centre of two hectares of land with superb 90 degree views of Coatesville and the surrounding countryside.
Both the 410 square metre house and the half hectare garden have clean lines that create a subtle division between the landscape, enabling a natural indoor-outdoor flow throughout the whole place.The minimalistic theme with the clean lines of this design was achieved using a few varieties of plants selected for their tolerance to the conditions and their carefree nature, not requiring much maintenance.Griselinia littoralis, corokia (Frosted Chocolate) hedges, Butia capitata, Queen Palms, Cycas revoluta, Trachelospermum jasminoides, Phormium Surfer and Phormium Bronze Baby border and embellish the garden.All four outdoor areas (the pool, entertaining space under the pergola, fireplace and children area) are linked together and are virtually maintenance free.
