Finishing off a few bits and pieces from 2018 as I gear up to start our 2019 projects!

Coastal revegetation/ mitigation plan - Mahurangi East.

A resource consent is required as the proposed boat ramp enters the Coastal Marine Area. I completed a landscape and visual effects assessment and landscape mitigation plan to be included as part of the consent application - demonstrating how the client seeks to regenerate the coastal edge using all native coastal vegetation that has been eco-sourced from the surrounding area, and to provide a solution that fits comfortably within the natural landscape.

A once-vibrant waterfront now littered with bach corpses, eerie reminders of summers past.

My most recent landscape plan for consenting purposes.

This is still fairly conceptual but I love doing this kind of work and can't wait to see what eventuates.

2018 is certainly the year for increasing density around Auckland!

Unfortunately I cant upload the high resolution otherwise I would probably kill all your devices trying to view it πŸ˜‚

What is a Landscape Architect?

What is the difference between an Architect, a Landscape Architect, a Landscape Contractor and a Landscape Designer?

These are questions I have to find the answers to on the daily and it's not a simple answer.

There are huge misunderstandings of our profession.

I am not an Engineer, nor an Architect. I don't design houses and I don't necessarily plant the trees. I am not a Planner, a Surveyor, a Builder or even an Ecologist.

I do however work in consultation with many of these professions and seek guidance throughout the design process where possible.

Landscape Architects often start work from a broad scale perspective in terms of spatial arrangement, environmental, social and cultural processes and patterns.

Given the opportunity we analyse the landscape in terms of movement, pattern, flows, processes, use, and perceptions.

We visualise change and make suggestions on form and function, ultimately working with other professionals to achieve a design that comes together as a whole.

Collaboration and understanding of capabilities is key to this profession.

First task: Mark up the site and prepare for earthworks. These rocks will be shifted to make way for house renovations, a new deck and various other landscape elements 🌱

Here we have tomatoes, lebanese cucumbers, cos lettuce, passionfruit, strawberries and a dwarf mandarin tree growing in pots outside our CBD apartment πŸŠπŸ…πŸ₯’πŸ“ As long as you have enough sunlight, water, and decent soil, you can grow a vegetable garden just about anywhere!

Add a little honey to attract the bees and you'll be fit for summer 🍯
