Minimalist gardens often look simple. They rarely are.

Behind that simplicity are layers of decisions. Site constraints, construction detail, horticultural understanding, the way light moves through the space. Just to mention a few.

One year in. The planting finding its feet.

South Island, New Zealand. One of the most underrated places on earth.

Perched high on the hill in Queenstown, this elevated garden was shaped to capture views across Lake Wakatipu. Terraces step with the land, creating places to gather, pause and take it all in.

What better way to enjoy it than sitting around a outdoor fireplace as the light fades over the lake.
