Years of agricultural use had left the land depleted, requiring a careful process of ecological repair before any meaningful planting could begin. \u201cYears of farming practices and chemical use had stripped much of the land of its ecological value, meaning restoration had to start well before any visible development,\u201d notes Bernice.<br \/>\nThe groundwork was therefore entirely regenerative: invasive species were cleared; natural systems were rehabilitated; and soil health was rebuilt through mulching and regeneration techniques. Only once this recovery had taken hold could planting and design interventions follow, with development responding to the land rather than overriding it.<br \/>\nToday, that long-term approach is expressed in a connected ecological framework of wetlands, forest and open green space \u2013 including a 14-hectare valley at its centre \u2013 which now functions as the true structure of the estate.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-43828\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-1024x554.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-1024x554.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-400x217.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-776x420.jpg 776w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-696x377.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5-1068x580.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ModernCoastalLiving_5.jpg 1454w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a>A slower coastal rhythm<\/strong><br \/>\nHere, landscape is deliberately understated. Shaded walkways, layered planting and earthy surfaces create a quiet continuity between home and habitat, shaping a coastal environment defined as much by ecology as by architecture.<br \/>\nMovement through the estate is unforced, unfolding gradually as spaces shift between openness and enclosure.<br \/>\nBernice describes the intention as creating moments that encourage people to slow down, pause and reconnect with nature more intentionally. This is reflected in the estate\u2019s boardwalks, viewing decks, bird hides and forest lookouts \u2013 spaces designed not simply for movement, but for pause, observation and discovery.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Details:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zululamiestate.co.za\/\">www.zululamiestate.co.za<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landartstudio.co.za\/\">www.landartstudio.co.za<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Text:<\/strong> Jennifer Campbell <strong>Photos:<\/strong> Thea Cogill<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Zululami Luxury Coastal Estate \u2013 recently recognised at the Scape Awards of Excellence 2025 for Landscape Architecture Project of the Year \u2013 landscape leads the conversation.
