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:
“If the fairest features of the landscape are to be named after men, let them be the noblest and worthiest men alone. Let our lakes receive as true names at least as the Icarian Sea, where “still the shore” a “brave attempt resounds.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
