"East
Meets West"
Pg 66-69
The decision for Scott to adopt an Asian-influenced design for this
home, itself set the scene for the creating of this retreat as a
contemplative, restful outlook from the main bedroom, ensuite and study.
"Before
and After"
Pg 82-83
This contemplative courtyard is viewed from the dining and lounge areas
of the house, so it has to look spectacular from all angles. The gentle
cascading sounds of water adds to the restfulness of this courtyard and
the evaporation cools the space.
"Seamless
Style"
Pg 92-93
This majestic house has been further refined by an outdoor space which
is both suitably spectacular and immensely usable. With its sparkling
pool, inviting entertaining area, elegant statues and formal planting,
this home is a 'little slice of heaven'.

“The
Great
Escape”
Pg
101-103
This
challenging garden, with indigenous windswept planting and
relaxed
outdoor living, has sparked the curiosity of many. In this feature
article, Scott explains the design thinking implemented in order to arrive at a
finished environment
that’s cohesive and has a
great ‘sense of place’.
“I wanted the end result to look as if it
‘belonged’
in its natural, coastal setting. I also wanted its intended use to be
compatible with the existing climate and location. The
relaxed,
easy going feel of the finished space belies the significant challenges
we had to overcome in order for it to look
‘simple’”
