Landscape design documentation for a cabin retreat with planting, paths and fire-pit spaces embedded in a rural paddock setting.
Gabarraa is a small luxury escape planned around one cabin, one ridge and one very quiet paddock outside Tenterfield.
The landscape brief was to keep the setting reading as a working property — open grazed ground, scattered eucalypts, a low fire-pit terrace — while quietly building comfort: gravel paths, a sheltered arrival, screening planting on the wind edge and framed outlooks back to the ridgeline.
Scope
- Concept landscape design for a single-cabin retreat
- Fire-pit terrace and arrival sequence
- Paddock-edge screening and planting palette
Design elements
- Open paddock kept as the primary landscape
- Fire-pit terrace with gathering space
- Gravel arrival paths and cabin curtilage
- Screen planting to wind and access edges
