Situated on the banks of an estuary, the landscape challenge was both to choose the appropriate endemic plant material for the site and to ameliorate the imported saline soil. Through a process of leaching out the salts and planting test gardens, the appropriate plants were selected resulting in an indigenous landscape within which the architecture is embedded.
