The landscape architecture of Avoca explores a vision in line with the historical and botanical nature of South Yarra, and drawing on horticultural influences of the area’s great treasures: the Royal Botanical Gardens, Fawkner Park and heritage estates such as Como House.
Nestled within Avoca Street, Myles Baldwin has considered the landscapes here as a natural extension of the residences with signature plantings. With wide balconies, extensive planter boxes and built-in barbeques, these private outdoor spaces offer an ideal setting for entertaining.
“The planting selection of Avoca is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Victorian Gardenesque, influenced by South Yarra’s green spaces.”

The studio Myles Baldwin Design recognises that every site is different; hence, every garden has requirements like no other.
Rather than rolling out a trend-driven aesthetic, the studio values each site’s opportunity to create a garden or landscape compatible with its corresponding architecture, its owners, its intended purpose, and its sustainability requirements. The studio is highly sought after for heritage and contemporary projects and is a design partner of choice for leading domestic and international architectural practices.
