Nestled on the edge of Indigenous coastal forest and looking over the Keurbooms lagoon is 1 Formosa designed by Paul Oosthuizen Architect. The building is a unique modern statement with sculptural concrete features. The clients, bird enthusiasts, spoke of a “Bali” feel to the garden. Plett’ has a sub tropical climate not too far removed from tropical Bali and the site already held some magnificent flowering tree specimens. We designed a path network to discover the garden; concrete in the shade and boardwalk in the sun. The sunny areas are planted with Fynbos and all areas present the best selection of bird attracting plants that we have in South Africa. Fiona Powrie designed the planting plan and Rob Mackenzie co-created the stone work. The Garden was installed by Simply Green.
