why enkidesign?
Would you build a house without plans?
There’s a lot to think about – how many rooms do you need, what layout is best, how will the flow of the floorplan work, where will the service areas go, how will you connect your indoor areas to your garden, do you need to think about future-proofing the design for old age, or selling down the track…
And that’s all before you’ve even addressed any aesthetics – timber floors or carpet? Plasterboard or plywood? Colorbond, terracotta, zincalume or slate tiles? And what about the fixtures, fittings, colours, furniture, windows, handles, lights and sustainability of the building?
The design of your garden, outdoor areas and swimming pool if you choose to have one requires exactly the same process – all of these questions need answers and working with a landscape architect to prepare a set of documented plans is the best way to ensure you get the outcomes you are aiming for.
Behind every built project is a design that has been crafted between client and designer. We aim to establish a solid working relationship with our clients early in the design process; a relationship that is based on trust, respect and honesty.
we’ll work with you to design a garden for your home that will bring you joy now & for many years to come.

How the design phase works
Your garden is as unique as you are, which is why we take a collaborative approach to designing spaces that will match your lifestyle. We will work closely with you to design a garden that you will simply love to be in. Our gardens function well, look beautiful and most importantly make their owners feel good about their home environment
Consultation
Your initial design consultation is held at the site of your project to facilitate discussions around access, neighbouring conditions, spatial layouts and possible design solutions. We ask a lot of questions & listen carefully to your answers so that we can get crystal clear on your brief.
schematic design
We’ll create a detailed project brief, take field measurements & complete a site analysis of the focus areas. Background research on council requirements will be completed & then we begin developing some initial ideas.
Design Development
These early concepts are developed into more resolved designs. Finishes, heights, materials palette & planting concepts are finalised. Price estimates are obtained from our network of professional contractors to ensure the design is on budget.
Presentation & revisions
In our purpose-built presentation space, we will walk through the design with you via easy to read plans & 3D modelling. Physical samples of products & materials will be available to look at, & you will be encouraged to provide your feedback on the design.
design resolution
The final step is to resolve all outstanding details & prepare the documentation drawings. Once complete, we connect you to our professional construction partners who can then prepare detailed construction quotations for the built works.
your FINAL Documentation PACKAGE will be tailored to the needs of your project, BUT may INCLUDE:
- Scaled architectural landscape plans
- 3D artistic renders
- Price estimates
- Details of bespoke design features
- Materials, finishes, products and style palette
- Planting design & plant schedule
- Detailed concept notes
