Seacombe Grove’s landscape design language fluidly contrasts the sculptural, refined architectural plane by McKimm with lush, Mediterranean-inspired planting that emphasises drought resilience and texture.

Planting scenes provide abundant greenery in shaded zones and resilient, sun-loving species on the exposed rooftop. Palm trees, Bay Laurels, and fragrant Gardenias shape layered zones, while arid, Californian Fan Palms and hardy herbs reflect an effortless, low-maintenance aesthetic.
The landscape's fluid forms echo the gentle curves and soft geometry of the architecture, fostering a harmonious transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. A strikingly composed water feature nestles beneath the fluid lines of the facade, while the edited precision of a pool with micro-cement finishes and reflective water walls acts as a visual anchor, further amplifying light and movement. Thoughtfully designed planting and a curation of material expressions evoke a tactile richness that complements McKimm’s modernist architectural forms, creating an environment that is both refined and relaxed. This dialogue between built form and nature elevates Seacombe Grove, transforming it into a sanctuary that celebrates its coastal landscape while embodying contemporary integrity.
