Balcony Design
As you proceed up the stairs to the entrance a Atlantis Corfu has been positioned beside the door, planted with a deep red Cordyline spp continuing the theme of red tones throughout the
garden. The Cordyline Spp. has been under planted with the silver leafed Dichondra “Silver Falls” spilling over the lip of the pot softening the hard edges and completing the striking focal
feature. Seamlessly flowing through to the outdoor entertaining area. Two Atlantis U-pots have been selected to sit next to the bi-fold doors adding a understated arrangement planted
with gorgeous Magnolia Little Grandiflora “Little Gems”, the gold under sides of their leaves complement the earthy tones and textures of the pots. Placed in front of the potted Magnolia’s
is an Atlantis U-pot once again planted with a Cordyline. The Atlantis pot collection has been selected for this space for their versatile appeal and gorgeous textures and various tones
which complement the surrounding natural colour palette & elements inside and out while not over powering the space.
To soften the look of the ends of the sofas two Atlantis Egg pots have been placed (to be viewed from
inside) breaking up the solid ends, planted with a soft tufted grass Lomandra ‘Tankia’.
Existing Yuccas
Garden bed planted with
Syzygium australe hedges
The existing Yucca’s in the garden beds look impressive & healthy and will work well with new
companion plants. Keeping in mind the red tones throughout the garden and house we have chosen a
screening hedge of Lilly Pilly’s, for their gorgeous new red blush growth and the ability to handle extreme
conditions throughout the year while providing privacy, they are the perfect solution for the garden bed.
Furniture Option 1: Hampton Outdoor Range Two Hampton sofas (three seater)
have been incorporated into the design to comfortably entertain six people. The
chocolate colour of the Hampton furniture will add a deeper variance in the earthy
tones while providing depth and warmth to the space. A Hampton coffee table also
fits in nicely between the two sofas without over taking the space.

lineal surfaces bringing in another dimension to the space.
