Hillside Terrace

Crafted to step naturally with the hillside, this terrace design embraces Wellington’s dramatic terrain while capturing uninterrupted ocean views. Each level is shaped with clean, modern geometry that contrasts beautifully with the rugged textures of the landscape. Durable hardwood decking, tiered retaining elements, and poured concrete platforms create defined spaces for dining, lounging, and quiet retreat.

The planting palette leans heavily on resilient coastal natives chosen to stabilise the slope and soften the architectural lines. Layered textures and wind-tolerant species introduce movement, depth, and year-round interest. The result is a low-maintenance, high-impact outdoor environment that feels anchored to the hillside and seamlessly connected to its coastal surroundings.
