Project: Yutori | Mt Martha, Victoria

A Modernist Sanctuary

Nestled in the landscape of Mount Martha, this garden is a striking fusion of structured design and organic beauty. Inspired by modernist principles, it features a carefully curated palette of succulents, cacti, and indigenous plantings designed by Colin to thrive in the local climate. 

The interplay of bold architectural forms with soft, layered greenery creates a dynamic yet harmonious environment. A dramatic entry courtyard, framed by sculptural Euphorbia and lush ferns, sets the tone for the home's seamless connection to its outdoor spaces. 

Beyond, an entertaining area unfolds, complete with timber decking, and a pool that mirrors the surrounding landscape. Natural stone pathways and textural planting blur the boundaries between built and natural elements, offering a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that embodies contemporary Australian outdoor living.
