From the relocation of existing plant species, to employing existing elements like the sloping landscape walls to emphasise the design, all played an important part in creating a space that looks like it's always been there.

The fire zone is a strong focal point when viewed from internal and external living space, so the design required a strong sculptural aesthetic.

This outdoor Living project emulates the sense of leaving the structured urban landscape and entering a natural habitat.

A significant design element was the incorporation of white lines throughout the space.

The versatile louvre roof addition ensures that the owners' outdoor space is ideal for any weather conditions.

The homeowner wanted larger grade plants given they were elderly and wanted their garden to be ready to enjoy immediately.

The underlying concept was to create a space that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings while standing out as a unique and aesthetically pleasing addition to the existing house.

The homeowners had an overall vision for their estate, and wanted to create a new outdoor living area to complement the rest of the sprawling property.

Square geometry was applied, and each zone was carefully designed to conform with the mathematical formulas.
