Award-winning landscape architect Craig Wilson founded Form Garden Architecture in 2012. With over 20 years in the landscaping industry, Craig’s portfolio boasts an extensive range of both residential and commercial projects.

His design for this Christchurch villa is telling of his design abilities. The clients wanted to have the landscape plan finalised in the early stages of the build so any structural work could be coordinated with that.

They say, “We wanted a design that reflected the French-villa style of the house, easy-care with outdoor living options. Craig was very quick to visualise what would work and he drew up an initial plan with the ideas we had agreed on. We then were able to take it away to study it and we met him back on site to talk about a few changes we had identified. Once we had agreed on the plan, we took it to the next stage where he drew up working drawings and planting plans.”
