Inside one of the Surf Coast’s most inspiring pool and landscape designs
When a home is designed around lifestyle, every outdoor space has a purpose. That philosophy sits at the heart of this remarkable Surf Coast project, where King’s Landscaping worked alongside the project team to create a seamless connection between architecture, landscaping and outdoor living. Rather than treating the swimming pool as a standalone feature, every element was carefully considered to create a home that feels calm, functional and completely connected.
From the expansive pool and entertaining spaces to productive gardens, mature planting and natural materials, the landscape was designed to become an extension of the home itself. The result is a private retreat that encourages relaxation, embraces the surrounding environment and demonstrates how thoughtful landscape design can completely transform the way a property is experienced.
The project has attracted widespread recognition, featuring as the cover story in The Australian Mansion magazine as the home of nutrition and wellness coach Naomi Singer. The publication highlighted not only the architecture but also the gardens, productive landscaping and outdoor spaces that help define the property’s sense of wellbeing and connection to nature.
Designing the landscape as part of the architecture
One of the defining characteristics of this project is how naturally the landscape and architecture work together. Instead of designing a garden after the home was completed, every outdoor space was carefully planned to complement the pavilion-style residence and strengthen the relationship between indoors and outdoors.
Large expanses of glazing create uninterrupted views across the property, making the landscape an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day. Wide lawns soften the contemporary architecture, while natural stone, timber elements and carefully selected planting provide warmth and texture that sit comfortably within the coastal environment.
The design allows every major living area to connect directly with the outdoors, creating multiple spaces to gather, entertain or simply enjoy the surrounding landscape.
This integrated approach is something we strive to achieve with every project. Landscaping shouldn’t compete with a home. It should enhance it.
A swimming pool designed for everyday living
The swimming pool plays a central role within the landscape, yet it never dominates the space. Positioned alongside generous outdoor entertaining areas, it creates a natural focal point while maintaining uninterrupted connections between the home, gardens and surrounding landscape.
Rather than designing a pool simply for appearance, the space was created to encourage everyday use. Whether enjoying a quiet morning swim, spending time with family or entertaining friends during summer, the pool becomes part of daily life rather than a feature reserved for special occasions.
Surrounding paving creates generous circulation space, while the clean architectural lines of the pool complement the contemporary home without overwhelming it. Every finish was selected to create a timeless result that will continue to look beautiful for many years.
This balanced approach is one of the reasons King’s Landscaping has become recognised for creating outdoor spaces that feel effortless, functional and enduring.
Gardens designed to nourish both people and place
Beautiful gardens do far more than improve the appearance of a property. They influence how people feel, encourage time outdoors and create spaces that support healthier lifestyles.
For this project, the landscape extends well beyond ornamental planting. Productive vegetable gardens, established trees and an olive grove all contribute to a landscape that is designed to be lived in rather than simply admired.
As featured in The Australian Mansion, homeowner Naomi Singer regularly uses fresh produce grown in the garden when developing recipes for her cookbook. Vegetables, herbs and medicinal plants were incorporated into the landscape so the garden could become part of everyday life while supporting the home’s broader wellness philosophy.
This connection between landscape and lifestyle reflects the way we approach every project. A successful garden should support the people who live there, whether that’s creating spaces for entertaining, areas for children to play or productive gardens that provide fresh food throughout the year.
Natural materials that stand the test of time
Creating a timeless landscape begins with selecting materials that improve with age.
Throughout this project, natural stone, quality paving, timber features and layered planting combine to create a landscape that feels established and connected to its surroundings. Soft planting balances the strong architectural forms, while open lawn areas provide breathing space between the various outdoor zones.
The restrained material palette allows the home, pool and gardens to work together without competing for attention. Instead, each element contributes to a calm and cohesive environment where every detail feels intentional.
These are the kinds of outdoor spaces that continue to mature beautifully over time, requiring thoughtful planning long before construction begins.
Creating places where people want to spend time
One of the greatest compliments a landscape can receive is that people simply want to spend time there.
Whether relaxing beside the pool, entertaining beneath the outdoor pavilion, harvesting fresh produce from the vegetable garden or enjoying the expansive lawns with family and friends, every part of this property has been designed to encourage connection with the outdoors.
This is the difference thoughtful landscape design can make. Rather than viewing the garden as something outside the home, it becomes another living space that evolves with the seasons and supports the way people choose to live.
At King’s Landscaping, we believe every project should achieve that same sense of balance. By bringing together exceptional craftsmanship, considered design and quality materials, we create landscapes that are both beautiful and practical, while reflecting the unique lifestyle of every client.
