Aldgate under construction


In the picturesque setting of Aldgate, WAX has under construction of a landscape sympathetic to the surrounding European traditions whilst celebrating the beauty of the local native species. Complimenting and responding to the built form, WAX have worked in close collaboration with Wood Marsh Architects and the client in designing a simple and understated landscape with a sculptural presence. 

Rolling turf mounds will provide a breathing space around the home with sweeps of native grasses transitioning the manicured into the surrounding landscape. Structured interventions into the wider surrounds include a tennis court and a pool, to provide the family an opportunity for recreation and relaxation, along with a vegetable garden, chicken coop and orchard to create a productive garden.
