VERY CLEVER and looks SO inviting!! The way you've created such a usable and friendly area and atmosphere. Congrats.

Oooooh lovely to see such great work in my neck of the woods. Pity City of Bayswater doesn't do heritage awards you guys deserve one.

This is great! Love the ample storage between the old laundry and the new laundry too :)

It’s possible to create a beautiful landscape design with clients during the lockdown period in NZ. Recently, a client approached us with a big idea and we are able to make this happen, despite the face-to-face and site visiting limitations. The client is after a simple, yet modern and stylish space that is relaxing and private with easy access to the house. We decided on a redesign to the rear of the property to accommodate a new, attractive but affordable covered outdoor room. This also has a separate seating/hanging out area for both relaxing and entertaining. It has an easy flow to move around and between all the spaces. Part of the brief was also to devise solutions to create privacy from the neighbouring houses along the two most exposed boundaries, and to develop a new gardening area. Above: Landscape Concept Plan To make sure this design fit the client to a T, we asked them about their lifestyle as well! This is so important because it gave us a clear idea of just how functional we needed the space to be! The design has two main areas - the new louvre roof over the existing deck with moveable blinds and screens for privacy or for easy access between the deck and home, and also a new paved patio area on the existing lawn. This second space is specifically designed for relaxation and chilling out, framed by a beautiful garden bed of Crimson Queen Maples. We’re also going to combine a mixture of exotic and native plants to create a cohesive planting design, including an edible garden and layered trees for visual appeal. Above: A still shot from our 3D design walkthrough We’ve gone from design stages to pricing and planning and we could not be more excited to get to the site and work on transforming this space into an oasis! We’ll keep you updated once the lockdown lifts.
