Designing with purpose and craftsmanship
The Studio
Exotic Living was founded by brothers Mitch and Josh Kushturian, a partnership built on a shared commitment to refined detail and thoughtful, high-quality design. A local family business based in Mosman. Their complementary strengths shape the heart of the studio: trust, creativity, and a genuine shared love for the craft.
Mitch leads the creative direction, with an instinct for seeing potential in spaces others may overlook. Josh brings deep technical expertise and material understanding, ensuring every element is executed with precision and integrity. Together, they create landscapes where design and craftsmanship meet seamlessly.
We take pride in delivering a service that feels both elevated and personal, with a process centred on a seamless client experience. We value the trust placed in us when invited into a family home, approaching every project with discretion, precision, and an eye for the finer details.
This commitment allows us to design and build gardens that not only meet expectations but unlock your property’s full potential and true value.
Recognised at the highest level of the industry:
- 2025 Australia’s Best Emerging Landscape Designer
- 2025 NSW Landscaper of the Year – Residential Construction
We believe every home holds untapped potential.
A well-designed garden doesn’t just enhance a property, it expands the way you live. True luxury isn’t found solely in grand structures or mature plantings, but in the subtle, meticulously crafted details that elevate a space from beautiful to exceptional.
