Hout Bay | Indigenous
Keeping a predominantly indigenous theme, the main garden of this 2-acre property adjoining the Disa River required gentle terracing with sweeping curves to draw one through the park-like settings, framing the vistas beyond.
Clifton | Contemporary
This modern, sculptural home is perched weightlessly on the slopes of Clifton with multiple levels of garden. Cleverly designed spaces and strong peripheral planting allowed us to settle this home softly into its environment.
Bantry Bay | Indigenous, Coastal, Contemporary
With almost 5,000m² of private estate on a ridge overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the decomposed granite slopes of this property and the brief required a sustainable and contemporary design. Many fynbos and indigenous plants were carefully selected for this garden, and a feature green wall was established to seamlessly blur the boundaries between the garden and the dramatic mountain and sea views beyond.
An entertainment area and bespoke sculpture has recently been designed and added to the garden by SAOTA, offering shelter from the elements and a functional space for outdoor living.
Constantia | Indigenous
This previously undeveloped sloped garden was transformed into a completely indigenous palette. An almost 1km-long bicycle and pedestrian pathway circles around a wild, bold mix of colour and texture, passing by garden rooms along different elevations.
Cape Town flower and garden show 2007 | Contemporary
This contemporary garden was designed and built in collaboration with British garden designer David Stevens, and beckons the visitor to enter via a pathway over the pond and into a garden of structure, colour and form.

BishopsCourt | Indigenous
The clients are keen bird watchers and with such a magical space overlooking the majestic mountains above Kirstenbosch Gardens, this indigenous natural garden was destined to become a sanctuary for wildlife and interesting indigenous flora. It is designed to complement the country-style home and the borrowed mountain vistas beyond.
BishopsCourt | Formal
This traditional French-styled villa with terraced gardens is anchored in the landscape with bold symmetrical planting schemes, softened with an abundance of colour and lush lawns.
