Tahuna

Perched on a hill near the Tukituki River, this property has an iconic view of distant Te Mata peak, and the garden takes its cues from this wider environment.

The landscape plan that surrounds the residence reflects the symmetry of the built design. Repetitive plantings of a limited plant palette contain this area and retain the structure year-round. A choreographed response of the clipped hedges and topiary shapes is punctuated by the tall elegance of an Italian cypress.
