The Mt Eliza Formal Garden was featured in Backyard Creative Australian Living Magazine (Issue 13.5, 2015), recognised for its balance between formal structure and relaxed outdoor living. Set within established hedging, the design creates a sense of enclosure and privacy while maintaining clear connections to the pool and surrounding garden.
A corten steel pavilion forms the centre of the space, providing a sheltered area for gathering, dining, and everyday use. The result is a landscape that feels both refined and inviting, where structure and usability come together in a way that holds over time.
