A sloping site enabled us to create an inviting landscape with interest. Raising the pool out of the ground brought up the levels along the back boundary making it more in line with the house. Using the existing floor level we designed a sunken entertaining space that provides interest with level change, intimacy and privacy from the neighbours and a clearer connection to the pool and spa. The lovely owners of this house were very adventurous and trusting in our design and now spend many hours entertaining and lounging about in a private, tranquil retreat whilst watching their children spend hours on end in the pool.
