He is an expert in the hard details of gardening such as grounding paths, drainage systems, and wall construction. In designing a garden, Whiting believes the planning of the architectural landscape is as important, if not more so, than the plants. And lighting is integral; he uses low LED lighting to illuminate pathways through the garden for night wandering.

Casa Palerm
At first glance, Casa Palerm could be some sort of luxury safari lodge. With a discreet, natural style blending into its surroundings, the bleached terrain stretching away into the distance, we could be in the wilds of Botswana. Just as those African lodges integrate seamlessly into the environment, single-storey Casa Palerm follows suit. Mallorcan shutters, deciduous trees for shade, stored rainwater to irrigate the garden, fill the toilet tanks, and for the pool – elements that embrace both style and environmental integration.
