Landscape Design
After completing four years of study in horticulture and design, Durie founded the award-winning landscape design company Patio Landscape Architecture and Design in 1998. Patio was renamed Durie Design in 2010.
With over 34 design awards to his credit, Durie has been invited to exhibit and compete at international garden shows around the world, winning gold medals in Australia, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand and the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in the UK. He continues to focus on large-scale resort and hotel designs globally with designs in Australia, the US, Canada, Spain, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Dubai, Bahrain, Hong Kong and The Caribbean. His latest large scale resort project involved designing and rejuvenating the landscape, furniture, sculpture and gardens at Hayman Island and it’s private estates on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, after they were devastated by tropical cyclones Anthony and Yasi.
