The Junction

Bold architecture, soft landscape

Contact MUD

The architectural design by Born Blue architects needs no introduction. The landscape design simply compliments the architecture and allows it to sit bold and strong within the space.

The strong and masculine elements of the architecture addition called for a softer approach throughout the landscaping. This was achieved through the use of curved concrete bench seating, textured filetti paving and layered native gardens. A simple and subtle landscape that allows the architecture to speak for itself.

Mark Tisdell surprised and delighted us with his innovative design.  Consultations with Mark have been comfortable and he was always willing to discuss any of our reservations, queries and suggestions.

Mark Tisdell from MUD nailed it with the first design concept! And was able to bring this to life with detailed plans that enabled us to get a better idea of how it would look when finished.

I found Mark to be very courteous, polite, punctual and easy to work with. Mark provides a very high level of service and my garden is now an area that I can sit in, relax and enjoy.

We are loving our new garden and shed! Mark Tisdell from MUD was very accommodating, easy to work with, and listened to our design aims.

Meeting times were easy to arrange, plans were delivered as promised and his relationship with Aaron has certainly made the project uncomplicated to manage.

The level of service was great, Mark was available to answer the many questions we had regarding plant and materials along the way.

I couldn’t be any happier with the transformation. It has exceeded all my expectations!

We were very satisfied with MUD’s design process. Mark was willing to re design any detail until we were completely happy.

The garden, while a work in progress, is dramatically different and is already a joy to view. We are looking forward to seeing it mature!

This project changed the way our home and interior exterior living works. With a beautiful outlook from every angle and entertaining options for not just summer, but winter as well. We couldn’t be happier with the result!
