Aralia: Innovation in Landscape Design
Aralia was commissioned by the Caring Homes Group to design the gardens for their new 61 bed care home in Suffolk. Initial plans were drafted for a sensory Dementia Garden and an overall garden landscape which the clients loved so much that they decided to increase the budget to accommodate the extra garden features recommended by Aralia which were designed specifically to engage the residents and add value to Park View’s landscape garden offering.
The Dementia garden design provides an interactive and visually stimulating journey around the garden for the residents such as birdbaths, water features, pergolas and even a supersize Chess Set. The ‘Garden Activity’ area with a Potting Shed, Potting Table, and raised vegetable beds at waist height encourages the residents to be enjoyably hands-on in growing both ornamental and edible crops. There are numerous seating areas in the garden for residents and their family to admire the fruits of their labours and a magnificent central pergola provides a perfect resting space for an outdoor drink or meal, with built in BBQ. The overall landscape design was very much Classical, with a nod to the traditional.
Aralia’s planting plan for the Care Home was deliberately nostalgic, to capture the memories of the Dementia patients, with lots of fragrant and textural planting. An Evergreen structure allows an attractive all year architectural base, with a tasteful mix of colourful herbaceous planting, including a wildflower meadow to attract plenty of much appreciated wildlife.
Aralia’s landscape design plans needed to factor in a multi-functional team of architects, drainage engineers, structural surveyors, site management, the nursing team and head office, to ensure that the design and development of the site met the needs of all parties and conformed fully to building regulations and disability legislation. Aralia’s remit was both the design and build of the hard and soft garden landscaping which included one of our many specialisms - a full lighting plan and installation.
The Care Home garden in Ipswich was completed Spring 2012 and the photographs show the initial planting, just a few weeks old. The garden borders will mature and fill their socks in the next few years.
Alchemy Architecture
The existing site, located in the Inner West of Sydney, contained a post war period home which had limited, if no redeeming factors and significantly underperformed for the living needs of the clients growing family. It was decided to remove the old structure and undertake a new build with the possibility of recycling the existing bricks from the old house and integrate them into the new. The planning approval was sought through a Complying Development Certificate, commonly known as a CDC, which allowed certain design freedoms and directions within a defined set of legislative regulations. We designed the new house around an existing pool which underwent some modification during the build to assist the visual connection and relationship to the new family home. The palate of finishes is raw, industrial and tactile with use of steel, timber concrete and recycled brick which exemplified the contemporary design. Light and ventilation were important factors of the design as well as connectivity between spaces and the relationship of the inside and outside. Our involvement in the project included not only the architecture as seen from the exterior though we were also instrumental in the assimilation of the interior finishes. Every effort was taken to maximise on all available space and capitalise on every available opportunity which was done successfully and advocated by our happy clients.

The Place Between
A reclaimed mantlepiece was fitted to give back the original feel to the property. The chimney could not be used as an open fire because of legislation in London, however, the owners love the look of old chimneys and what they bring to the home. In this large dining room, it brought style and visual symbolic warmth. The brick also matched the other chimney in the kitchen, which were restored to host the cooker range master.
