PROJECTS

We started with a splinter of gardens along a narrow spring fed ditch bordered by another Sauvignon Blanc vineyard. A year or so later the stunning results speak for themselves! The land was completely flat to start with. Every plant except the 2 mature Plane trees and the 4 mature weeping willows was removed, those […]

Nestled in to the side of steep hill this courtyard garden was designed to give the clients shelter from the prevailing westerly winds. The home is set on the dry hills south of Blenheim yet we have managed to create a frost free pocket here so we can grow sub tropicals such as banana, pineapples, […]

A previously steep bush clad section has been transformed into a sounds paradise. A steep slope required complicated calculations to create new levels and retaining walls that not only provided for function but for aesthetics also. The owners brief was that they wanted a fireplace and a natural BBQ. That was it. The rest was […]

This modern architecturally designed home required some serious landscaping. A small section required big thinking. The smaller the space the more challenging the design is. We tried and succeeded ii incorporating all the owners requirements yet still had plenty of room left over. The simple, clean lines create a harmonic feel and make the garden […]

Here at Hunter’s Winery on Rapaura road in sunny Marlborough you can see a traditional use of different materials. Based of the traditional woven fence from England we have used last years prunings from Hunter’s award winning Sauvignon Blanc vines. This sympathetic use of local materials is a first as far as I know. The […]

Marlborough’s most loved Chinese restaurant was designed by PlanIT and the gardens were designed by us. What else could we do? A bamboo garden of course. This attractive street frontage was designed to be minimal hassle and compliment the architecture rather than smother it. Nest time you’re on your way for a delicious meal check […]
