The Albert Park Rooftop and The Wave Garden were featured in Backyard Outdoor Entertaining Magazine (Edition 8, 2016), showcasing two distinct approaches to outdoor living. The Albert Park rooftop transforms a constrained urban site into a layered, functional retreat, using curves, level changes, and integrated seating to create a space that feels both open and private above the city.
Alongside this, The Wave Garden reflects a more expressive, award-winning landscape design, inspired by coastal forms and recognised with Gold and the Royal Horticultural Society Comeadow Award at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Together, the projects highlight a balance of innovation, usability, and strong design thinking across very different environments.
