MELBOURNE, VICTORIA
Landscape Architect: Matt York

Matt York for Ratio's We the Wild draws on 25 years of landscape practice to reimagine Victoria's southern coastline as a living, breathing garden. The 310 sqm installation layers eucalyptus canopies over granite boulders, weaving native planting with considered indoor-outdoor spaces designed for gathering, resting, and slow coastal living.
