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.

Famous quotes containing the words landscape and/or design:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
