Gold Award for Residential Construction (Over $250,000), along with a Special Feature Award, Landscapes of Distinction Awards 2025. Located in Strowan, Christchurch, crafted by Onlandscapes Ltd.

The objective was to create a serene, resort-like ambiance with a tropical essence, completed in time for the Christmas season. Onlandscapes designed it around pre-existing tree roots, subsurface utilities, and a previously earthquake-impacted pool featuring various elevations, following a design by Botanic Landscape Architects.

Key features of the project include an artificial turf pitch-and-putt green, an outdoor kitchen complete with a super-white concrete countertop and fire feature, louvred pergolas, an outdoor shower, and a poolside mural replacing a non-compliant mirror. Late alterations in materials were effectively managed through open communication, and at peak times, up to thirty workers were on-site to meet the deadline. This project serves as the constructed counterpart to the Botanic-designed Strowan Residence.

Watford Street, Strowan
