Admiralty House, Kirribilli

Taylor Brammer Landscape Architects is engaged in the ongoing Heritage Landscape Management Plan, maintenance and heritage advice for the Sydney Harbour residence of the Governor-General of Australia, in Kirribilli.

We created a detailed site management strategy that honours the heritage values of the site, whilst acknowledging contemporary uses. The masterplan reflects long-term thinking, with a low-maintenance planting strategy ensuring the garden looks its best year-round against its harbourside setting. Substantial works have been undertaken using the Conservation and Management Plan as the guiding document for this significant heritage-listed Sydney property.

For over 20 years, we've been entrusted with the heritage expertise and guidance this Kirribilli property requires. Maintaining a property of this national significance remains a core part of our heritage practice, and we continue to uphold its character today.

Admiralty House was recently featured on the Big Design Adventures podcast and show, with the gardens featuring as part of a broader conversation about the property's history and significance within Sydney's harbour side landscape.
