The Story:
This existing house had a workable layout but lacked connection between the interior and rear outdoor areas. The clients wanted a level, functional entertainment space in conjunction with a new mineral pool that would capitalise on the sites intimate, tropical garden setting. Eaves were extended, large glazed sliding doors replaced blank walls opening up to the new, level timber deck and the master bedroom was reconfigured and extended with a new ensuite and walk in wardrobe. The primary material around the new pool and landscape design is sandstone, and as a counterpoint the new timber deck will be left unfinished to eventually weather to a natural grey.
