Designed by Katrina Kieffer-Wells. The design aimed to provide a low maintenance extension of the fresh and breezy style of the interior of this family home.
The area level with and adjoining the house was paved with light grey sandstone to give enough space for the client to bring their large dining room table out into the garden when they wish to entertain.
The decked area was enclosed by a softwood timber pergola. This was half-roofed with timber joists onto which blue Perspex panels were fixed. Suspended from the pergola frame is the main feature of the garden – a large, deep, timber swing seat ready for the client to dress with an array of cushions, mattresses and throws.
This was mirrored on the right side of the back boundary with three non-illuminated white fibreglass planters. The left hand planters were framed by three 3 outdoor canvas fixed to the wall (200cm x 40cm), whilst the right hand planters benefit from a backdrop of backlit blue Perspex panels.
