Vaucluse Water Garden

The Project

Vaucluse Water Garden.

A modern house in Vaucluse where water does the organising. A long dark rill with floating stone pads runs from the street to the front door.

Clipped hedges and standard trees keep the geometry simple. Waterlilies and arum lilies soften the pool edges, and kalanchoe fills the white render planters.
