coogee common

Seedesign Studio are proud to have designed the landscape and working garden that are at the heart of Coogee Common. The historic Coogee Hotel, redesigned and restored by local architects Spaceagency, is nestled in the productive working garden. It houses a new restaurant and bar that showcases the garden’s daily harvest of fresh produce.

The extensive fruit and vegetable gardens create a beautiful and functional landscape. Decades old mature fig trees have been saved from demolition and are now flourishing in their new home.

Two rows of mature olive trees provide shelter from the strong ocean winds and create a microclimate. This allows the gardens to flourish despite it’s close proximity to the ocean.

A small team of horticulturalist work onsite to ensure the garden always has an abundance of fresh produce to serve the onsite restaurant and bar.
