Beautiful Garden Design Ideas from Toorak Residence

ach to creating a landscape. The result is a unique garden that invites the owner to enjoy their large outdoor space. The site and orientation of this property had a strong influence on how the garden and the useable spaces were laid out. The house sits in the centre of a long and narrow, steeply sloping rectangular block. With access to the garden at both ends of the house, the garden is divided into two halves and visible through large north facing windows.

Large sliding glass doors of the kitchen and living spaces open to an outdoor dining area at the high end of the site. This undercover section provides the family with a large entertaining space and built in cooking facilities with plenty of storage.

A large flat quadrangle of hardy lawn is retained by a three meter masonry wall which overlooks the generous swimming pool. Access to the pool is positioned off a family activities room, with a secondary path through the lower garden to encourage “a walk in the garden”. Get inspired to tackle your garden or outdoor area with this great Toorak Residence outdoor design idea.
