Garden design? landscape design? Perhaps even both? Such questions are posed by the design of Medhurst, a contemporary rural estate that looks across the Yarra Valley to the distant Yarra Ranges National Park, surely one of Victoria's most sublime and picturesque landscapes. Apart from the walled picking garden that is so carefully distanced from the house and its immediate surrounds, the estate is not really considered as a garden, even by the owners. Their "garden," after all, requires so little real "gardening" or cultivation in the traditional sense. To them, to the landscape architects at Tract Consultants, to the architects at Denton Corker Marshall (DCM) and to anyone who visits, this house both inside and out is all about its broader landscape setting. Perhaps the whole valley is Medhurst's garden.
