Terrasse coulissante sur piscine. Aménagement d'une plage bois fixe, et végétalisation périphérique. Ambiance cosy.

In a unique location on a clifftop overlooking the ocean, an existing pool and rear garden was transformed inline with the ‘Hamptons’ style interiors of the home. The shape of an existing pool was changed to allow for more lawn and usable space. New tiling, rendered walls, planters and salt tolerant planting brought the garden up to date. The existing undercover alfresco area in this Dover Heights family garden was opened up by lowering the tiling level to create internal height and a sense of spaciousness. The colour palette was purposely limited to match the house with white light greys, green plantings and blue in the furnishings and pool. The addition of a built in BBQ with shaker profile cupboards and marble bench top references the interior styling and brings sophistication to the outdoor space. Baby blue pool lounges and wicker furniture add to the ‘Hamptons’ feel. Contemporary planters with Bougainvillea has been used to provide a splash of colour along the roof line for most of the year. In a side courtyard synthetic lawn was added to create a children’s play area, complete with elevated fort, cubby house and climbing wall.

The softly undulating rear yard is landscaped in a typically Australian coastal style. A large steel Japanese cauldron is a simple but strong focal point for the audience sitting on the stone wall. Exterior lighting enhances both the natural and constructed elements of this outdoor space. Photography by Sam Penninger - Styling by Selena White

created this outdoor deck and garden bed design for our client in Dover Heights Sydney. They live right on the cliffs in the Eastern Suburbs, with high exposure to wind and salt. This combined with a new Modwood outdoor deck has given them a low maintenance new addition to their outdoor living space.
