New Lambton Heights

2305

Designed for a contemporary residence in Newcastle, this bespoke residential landscape creates a seamless connection between architecture and outdoor living. Defined by a strong architectural framework and softened by layered planting, the landscape establishes a timeless outdoor environment that enhances everyday living while adding lasting value to the property.

Floating concrete entry steps, integrated lighting and a restrained planting palette create a welcoming arrival sequence, while feature Forest Pansy (Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy') trees introduce seasonal colour and contrast throughout the predominantly green landscape.

The rear garden is centred around a 15-metre lap pool positioned to capture elevated views across Newcastle and, on clear days, towards Port Stephens. Sculptural planting enhances privacy while framing the outlook, and an outdoor kitchen with an integrated sports court extends the home's living spaces into the landscape, creating a refined setting for entertaining, recreation and family life.
