Stephen Collins's Magnolias

My friend Stephen Collins took out the NSW Residential Design award at the 2013 Australian Interior Design Awards last month for a warehouse conversion in Surry Hills, featured in this months Vogue Living. Bravo Stephen!




Material Landscape Architecture, my previous incarnation before going bush, specified, selected and installed the beautiful saucer magnolias that feature in two separate courtyards. Without any doubt, this was one of the more successful plantings I achieved in my landscape career. Simple yet the trees, as Stephen says, made the place sing.
