CIRCULATION, COLOUR & PLANTING
A clear way through.
A softer place to arrive.
For the Bunga project, we planned how people and vehicles would move around the property, planted the green spaces, and created a colourful driveway and walking slabs.
Red and grey paving gives the routes a distinct rhythm. Grass, flowers and foliage bring a softer edge to the house and its hard surfaces.
THE DESIGN APPROACH
Connecting the spaces around the home.
The circulation plan brings the driveway and walking routes together with the green spaces. The photographs show how the paving, planted borders and lawn meet at the edges of the house.
01 / CIRCULATION
Colour gives the route its character.
Interlocking pavers create the driveway, while separate walking slabs carry the red-and-grey palette into the lawn.
A colourful arrival
Red and grey interlocking pavers form the route alongside the house.
A rhythm across the lawn
Red and grey walking slabs are separated by strips of grass.
02 / ON SITE
From open ground to defined routes.
These site photographs show the unpaved route, the stone-faced edges and the paving in place.

03 / GREEN SPACE
Planting brings the edges to life.
Flowering borders, contrasting leaves and ornamental grasses add colour and texture alongside the routes.
Flowers at the doorstep
White and yellow flowers soften the border beside the steps and paving.
Layers of colour
Flowering plants and contrasting foliage fill a bed beside the house.
Planting along the path
