Blair Atholl Estate Residential Development
Client: Private Client
As freelance Landscape Architect I was tasked by Newtown Landscape Architects with the concept development for a residential unit’s landscaping in Blair Atholl Estate Gauteng, South Africa.
The development included two houses on three adjacent stands. The requirements from the client were to have a formal landscape surrounding the main dwelling and a more natural landscape for the second dwelling and the reminder of the development.
The design included a dam, vegetable garden, fruit trees and a compost yard. A visual barrier was created using plant material on the northern and western boundaries.
