Killara Art Deco Garden – not your ordinary garden
Umbaco was engaged to bring back to life the garden of an art deco house, patiently restored by its owners over the last 16 years.
The home was designed by American architect Marion Mahony Griffin, one of the first licensed female architects in the world.
“It had to look like a lilypad floating above the pool,” were the words of the clients to describe the curved pergola she so desired. We replicated those shapes with the planters to create soft edges and curves.
Planting was carefully selected to work with the style and times of the art-deco period, while also honouring the Australian palette.
