SEDDON
Melbourne
A compact back garden in Seddon in Melbourne's inner west, designed and built by Normark Landscapes: three open steel gables lend height between the tall brick walls of the neighbours, over corten edged steps, a wall of climbers and big leaved planting around a small lawn.
It won Landscape Design Under 100 Square Metres at Landscaping Victoria's 2021 industry awards, whose judges called it a lovely garden with a definite wow factor delivered in a compact space. The house is a period weatherboard cottage with a modern rear extension; the black gable ended garden studio at the far end has its shape echoed by the steel frames over the garden.
