How Fashionable can a Garden Actually Get? | Dream Gardens

Fashion magazine editor Justine Cullen and events organiser Greg Mathew are wildly busy with three young kids and high-pressure jobs that often take them away from home. It’s their dream to have a garden sanctuary to escape, relax and recharge in.To achieve this feel they want a design that brings the indoors, out. This means expanding the living area of their small fibro cottage on Sydney’s Northern Beaches by carving an opening into one side of the home. At the heart of the design will be a Mediterranean-style pool and a staggered deck down to a lawn, surrounded by planting and seating.With her expert high eye for design, Justine is passionate about the finishes and wants her entertaining space to have a timeless, weathered look. The timber finish for the deck must resemble driftwood, a painting technique that the design team have not tried before. Another problem they face is the local landscape; the garden runs through a local flood zone so the pool will need to be raised.To add to the challenges for the designer, Justine and Greg will be overseeing their project as ‘around the clock’ busy people do - by email, video calls and in person when they are both at home. Will this digital era approach to design - client consultation work?To find sanity in the insanity they will need to push through one of the busiest years of their lives and pull off the perfect, designer retreat.
