Manly Esplanade
The Manly Esplanade landscaping project blends coastal elements with a clean, modern design. It transforms a coastal bungalow-style home into a stunning showcase. Positioned on a prime corner lot, the home offers breathtaking water views. This project highlights Dorset Bottega’s skill in creating outdoor spaces that connect smoothly with the natural coastal surroundings. The chosen materials and thoughtful design enhance the home’s connection to its environment. The landscaping not only boosts the property’s appeal but also perfectly captures the relaxed coastal lifestyle. Furthermore, the project is a prime example of how modern design can harmonise with nature to create a beautiful and functional space. It’s a true testament to Dorset Bottega’s ability to elevate everyday living through exceptional design.
Our Manly Esplanade Landscaping design aimed to connect indoor and outdoor spaces smoothly, focusing on simplicity and practicality. First, we included coastal elements to match the natural surroundings and emphasise the home’s prime waterfront location. To achieve this, we carefully selected materials that reflect the colours and textures of the coast. Additionally, we used large windows and sliding doors to blur the lines between inside and outside, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces. Furthermore, the outdoor areas were designed to be an extension of the home, providing comfortable spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Moreover, we incorporated native plants and greenery that thrive in coastal conditions, further enhancing the seamless connection between the home and its environment. This approach not only enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal but also ensures that the design is functional and easy to maintain.
Manly Key Aspects
1. Travertine Pathways: Light-hued pathways and garden edging enhance the coastal ambiance while harmonizing with the home’s architecture.
2. Lawn Terrace Framing: As part of the Manly Esplanade landscaping project, thoughtfully designed gardens frame the lawn terrace, both within and outside the corner block fencing, accentuating the property’s charm.
3. Layered Planting: A mix of silver, green, purple, and white foliage creates a “clouded” yet layered effect, with the Gauda (Butterfly Plant) stealing the show with its graceful movement in the sea breeze.
4. Wistringia Border: Along the right side, Wistringia borders complement a feature wall, adding depth and visual interest.
5. Automated Irrigation: Effortless maintenance is ensured with automated irrigation systems, keeping the gardens lush and vibrant.
6. Buffalo Lawn: A resilient and visually appealing Buffalo lawn adds to the coastal charm, providing a soft, inviting space for relaxation and recreation.
7. New Foot Paths: Enhancing accessibility and aesthetics, new footpaths guide residents and guests around the property with ease.
8. Synthetic Lawn: A practical addition to the office terrace garden, synthetic lawn offers year-round greenery without the maintenance hassle.
