Mont Albert Residence Landscape Design

Landscape Architecture 2026
Mont Albert, Melbourne, Australia






Harnessing the Terrain Situated in Melbourne’s Mont Albert, this newly constructed residence negotiates a significant topographical challenge, with a site elevation drop exceeding a full story. Rather than conventional retaining, the landscape design embraces this 2.5-split-level structure, sculpting the steep incline into a series of cascading modern terraces that define the property's character.

Materiality & Architectural Language To resolve the dramatic grade changes, the spatial arrangement utilizes expansive, terraced sandstone platforms. These robust natural stone elements introduce a refined, contemporary geometry that anchors the outdoor spaces. At the entrance, a bespoke water feature is integrated into the arrival sequence, providing a sense of tranquility and fluid movement that softens the structural hardscaping.

Light & Botanical Curation The site layout is strategically optimized to capture and amplify northeast sunlight. Harmonizing with the home’s Modern Californian aesthetic, the plant palette focuses on soft, light-toned foliage. Silver-leaved and pale botanicals are meticulously selected to thrive in the sun-drenched orientation while reflecting natural light, ensuring the residence maintains a bright, airy, and sophisticated coastal atmosphere.
順應地形:轉化落差為層次 坐落於墨爾本 Mont Albert 區,這棟新建住宅面臨極具挑戰性的地形條件——場地最高點與最低點的高差超過一個樓層。設計團隊並未採用傳統的阻隔式擋土牆,而是順應其典型的 2.5 層結構,將陡峭的坡地轉化為層次分明的現代階梯式地台,成為定義建築性格的核心景觀。

材質語彙:現代幾何與流動感 為了化解巨大的地形落差,空間佈局大量運用大面積的砂岩(Sandstone)構築階梯平台。堅硬且具質感的天然石材界定了整齊的現代幾何線條,穩定了整體戶外空間。在主入口處,我們特別設計了水景(Water Feature),在歸家動線中引入流動與寧靜感,柔化了硬質景觀的銳利度。

植栽策略:光影優化與色調美學 整體景觀佈局精準優化了來自東北方向的日照。為完美呼應建築的「現代加州風」,植栽選擇上聚焦於淺色調與銀灰色系植物。這些精心挑選的植物不僅能適應陽光充沛的微氣候,更能透過葉片折射光線,將加州風格中那種明亮、通透且充滿度假感的空間氛圍發揮到極致。
