The aim was to keep it stylish and simple while providing maximum outdoor living and entertaining opportunities. The installation of a vergola was a game changer; extending the clients living space – rain, hail or shine! A fully equipped built in BBQ, complete with bar fridge ensures refreshments are never far off on weekends spent by the pool. Swapping out the old black metal pool fence for a glass option minimises the divide between the pool and lawn, creating a sense of open space when viewed from the outdoor dining and lounge.

The pool area received a makeover with new non slip, Di Lorenzo porcelain tiles and a feature wall made with sandstone cladding. Box hedging and Star Jasmin frame the space with classic ease and fragrance to mark the beginning of warmer weather.

Making a good entrance is key, especially when it comes to gardens. Here a bespoke corten steel garden bed, complete with bold plantings of Imperial Bromeliad, vibrant screens of Bamboo and beds of Rhoeo complement this contemporary home.
