2023 Grant Saltmarsh Memorial Award – Feature in the Landscape
Gold Award: The Scape Artist – Castlemaine Project
The judges praised the Castlemaine project for its exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design. “Well-constructed with exquisite attention to detail, this feature demands your focus as soon as you walk into the garden,” they commented. Built using local materials, it establishes a sustainable connection to the area, blending stone—both horizontal and vertical—with rusted metal to create a visually striking yet harmonious addition to the landscape.
While serving as a focal point, the feature is carefully positioned to maintain privacy and accessibility, striking the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal.
