This laneway project in Auckland C*D received a diamond award at the 2026 Biophilic design awards. Interior plant company Outside In engaged me to assist with design and plant placement. "Guided by Kaitiakitanga— the Māori principle of guardianship—layered native trees, ferns and groundcovers transform the space into a living expression of New Zealand’s native bush. Immersive planting, light and natural forms create a restorative urban sanctuary where nature, culture and people connect." So cool to see this mature and receive recognition for its role in greening our city. 🌴🏙🏆 https://www.outsidein.com/ https://www.facebook.com/IPIAalliance

Transformation to come for this Grey Lyn backyard. Currently the yard is spilt into two levels making it unusable. Spoil from the pool dig will be used to fill the lower side creating a sunken deck area for a gas fireplace and a seamless connection from lawn to pool area.

Busy week supervising planting at the new Taranaki Base hospital. Over 2500 plants carefully placed ready for the team @ It was a real privilege to be apart of such an important public project from design to implementation. I look forward to seeing the plants mature across all areas including the main entrance, sw pond and a cool shaded void garden.

'Design for a cave' Design should celebrate place and context. This design on the edge of a Mt Eden lava flow draws attention to the textures and uniqueness of this feature. Cant wait to see the glow of the fire upon the rock face at night!
