New Castle / Anthony St John Parsons

Quietly nestled in the foothills of southern Merewether, the New Castle manifests a subtle grandeur that is both ambitious and refined. Romantically envisioned as an invisible garden of paradise, the residence's design is entirely encompassed within a walled garden, creating a sub rosa sanctuary for its inhabitants. A thick limestone wall begins at one corner at hip height and rises to nearly two stories at the opposite corner, with only a few thoughtfully placed openings offering intriguing glimpses of what lies within, which include a cluster of Cabbage tree palms and a mature evergreen Magnolia Grandiflora.
