Landscape and pool design for Brighton
Brighton is home to some of Melbourne's most thoughtfully designed houses. Architecture is often given centre stage, but it's the landscape that determines how the home is experienced every day.
At Mint Design, we see the garden as part of the architecture, not something that surrounds it. The arrival sequence, planting, pool and outdoor living spaces are all considered together, creating landscapes that feel connected from the street through to the backyard.
Some of the best Brighton homes aren't remembered for a single feature. They're remembered for how everything works together.
Designing for Brighton
Every project begins with understanding the architecture and the people who will live there.
How do you arrive home? Where will you spend a summer afternoon? What do you see from the kitchen, living room or bedroom? These questions shape every design decision.
Planting softens strong architectural forms, mature trees provide a sense of permanence, and outdoor spaces are designed to feel like natural extensions of the home rather than separate destinations.
When considered from the beginning, the landscape doesn't simply complement the architecture. It completes it.
Recent work in Brighton
Our Brighton projects demonstrate Mint's integrated approach to landscape design, where architecture, planting, pools and outdoor living are developed as one cohesive vision.
Rather than designing individual features, we create landscapes that strengthen the experience of living in the home, both inside and out.

Our process
Every project begins with understanding your site, your home and the way you want to live outdoors.
From there we develop concept plans, planting design and detailed construction documentation that allow every element of the landscape to work together as a complete design.
Depending on the scope of your project, our involvement can continue through planning approvals, contractor liaison and site visits during construction.

Our projects have received national and international recognition for creating outdoor spaces that feel distinctive, considered and impossible to place anywhere else.
