This is how a boring and barren entryway became a lush garden

Designer James Walkinshaw of Xanthe White Design transformed a barren Pt Chevalier entryway into a series of lush garden 'rooms', modernising the home without expensive renovations.

The project reduced the driveway and used a black steel pergola and clever built-in seating to create distinct courtyards. A planting palette of fresh greens, whites, and Japanese maples adds year-round texture and seasonal colour, resulting in beautiful and versatile outdoor living spaces for the whole family.
