Terrace revival

The front garden of this Victorian terrace in Hamilton balances heritage charm with a fresh, contemporary planting palette. Clean architectural lines, layered greenery, and bougainvillea soften the façade and elevate the home’s street presence, creating a seamless landscape connection from front to back.

The rear garden strengthens the relationship between house and landscape through an extended deck that flows to a semi - inground plunge pool and a central lawn anchored by a feature European Olive (Olea europaea). Bluestone steppers guide movement between zones, from the flexible BBQ area to the reimagined side courtyard with its north facing herb wall planters, outdoor shower, and discreet bike and garden storage. The result is an effortless outdoor‑living environment, with generous seating, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining area that exemplify true indoor–outdoor integration.
