3 Tinnies – Cape Paterson

The owners of this home at The Cape sustainable housing estate wanted to create a landscape which reflected the biodiversity and natural amenity of the area, while producing a significant amount of the family’s fresh produce.

A rugged coastal landscape with native plantings for biodiversity, habitat logs, and water pools is complemented by timberclad wicking beds and decorative recycled old boats—giving the home the moniker ‘Three Tinnies’.

​For a weekend and holiday home, the low-maintenance self-watering wicking beds and native plants allows for minimal watering and maximum enjoyment of the space.
