Designing Homes that Embrace the Landscape
How Buck & Simple Creates Outdoor Living Spaces that Elevate Your Lifestyle
At Buck & Simple, our philosophy is simple: a home is only complete when it feels deeply connected to its surroundings. For our clients building high-end residences in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the landscape is as important as the architecture itself.
From the first sketch, we consider how each home will capture natural light, frame views, and seamlessly transition into outdoor living spaces. By engaging early with our trusted network of horticulturists and landscape architects, we ensure that every project is holistically designed—the house and garden working in harmony.
Harnessing the Opportunities of the Site
Every site tells a story, and the best designs respond to it. Whether it’s:
- A coastal block with sweeping ocean views
- A bushland site framed by native trees
- Or an urban Northern Beaches lot where privacy is key
We start by understanding topography, orientation, and natural assets. From there, we design architecture that celebrates outdoor living and integrates the landscape as part of the home.
Collaboration for a Holistic Outcome
We are not landscape architects, but we know the power of collaboration. Early in the design process, we connect with specialist landscape professionals to:
- Design sustainable gardens using native and low-maintenance species
- Introduce rainwater harvesting and irrigation solutions
- Create outdoor zones that invite family gatherings, play, and quiet retreat
This collaborative approach ensures that every Buck & Simple home feels grounded in its environment, while enhancing property value and long-term livability.
Outdoor Living, the Northern Beaches Way
Luxury residential design in Sydney’s Northern Beaches is about seamless indoor-outdoor living. We often design:
- Entertaining terraces that open directly from living areas
- Pools and water features as sculptural focal points
- Garden rooms and courtyards for privacy and natural ventilation
Take our Casaballin Residence, where the circular pool anchors the garden as a visual centrepiece. Surrounded by lush greenery and designed in collaboration with a specialist landscape architect, it provides a family retreat that feels like a private resort.
Designing Your Home to Live With Nature
A Buck & Simple home is designed not just for today, but for a lifetime of connection with the outdoors. By leveraging the expertise of landscape architects and horticulturists, we create homes where the architecture and garden speak the same language—sustainable, timeless, and uniquely yours.
