Saturday in Design




Collaborating with Enoki, 1000 Chairs, A&B, Archilux, Gareth Brown and Anouk a Spanish Fiesta theme of the day influenced the green installations created by WAX Design. Working with our sponsors, Bennetts Magill Pottery and Heyne’s Nursery, terracotta pots and plants were used to create our temporary tiered green wall as the feature back drop to the central show room.
Bike racks recently designed by WAX assisted with a sense of arrival out on the street and turf donated by Brooks Turf and laid with the help of Summit Landscape created a ‘party garden’ in the rear car park. The day was great fun, with paella, sangria, DJ James Paris and sunshine to create a lazy afternoon siesta vibe.

Cottage Character






WAX features in Sanctuary Magazine for a sustainable garden design which responds to the architecture of the client’s original 1880s cottage and the new extension by Troppo Architects. The use of recycled and local sourced natural materials throughout the garden, left to weather, share a similar language to the architecture creating a unity between the indoors and outdoors. The lawn is watered with rainwater along with the mix of drought tolerant natives and the productive garden. Several trees are located to provide shading to the house in summer.
