The latest addition to the Daab Design series is New Garden Design, featuring a colourful collection of domestic landscape designs from around the world. Great examples of classic landscape design elements in motion can be seen, from intricate 'secret garden' type motifs to barrenly open spaces with many an inviting subtlety. The projects show inspiring usage of traditional elements such as vegetation and water interacting with tastefully introduced materials to bring about a natural sublime in the personal space, be it overly thematic or not. There are numerous Australian entries, notably from Sydney and Melbourne, which is an encouraging tribute to the amount of local talent that's becoming recognised on the world stage. The content is exclusively photography, with the inclusion of some ground plans and designer's contact details.
