The landscapes by Paul Bangay have been designed to provide a sanctuary for the architecture to sit within, and to enrich the daily experience of residents.
These are organic and inviting spaces that seamlessly blend indoors and outdoors. The plant selection emphasises texture, movement and softer elements, all grounded by carefully arranged crazy paving and steppers to bring balance to each environment.
As envisioned by Paul Bangay, the landscape design of Como is a living composition that captures both the classic elegance of the area’s ordered gardens and the vibrant character of Toorak today.
By aligning the visions of the architectural and landscape teams, the entire building and its surrounding spaces are imbued with a sense of harmony. Mirroring formal principles established by Jolson, the curved façades are echoed in rounded garden walls and paved areas, with textural foliage cascading over the hardscape to soften every space.
