project 1 |
As this townhouse is not huge, Scott had to use his
creativeness to devise an 'outdoor room' - a barbeque,
alfresco dining and entertaining space to function as an extra
living space.
To blend in with the townhouse, Scott selected a rust-coloured
water feature which he designed himself, brown Merbau
decking, aubergine-coloured slatted screens and red-wine
glazed pots. These features all function as important
elements.
When planting out the area, Scott chose a combination of
traditional and modern plants. Architectural yuccas and
strappy cordylines sit alongside dwarf azaleas and
English box. Magnolia Littlegems provide a green
lushness together with some potted herbs.
Scott also designed a system of adjustable lights
specifically suited to the alfresco living space, which adds an intimate
and atmospheric touch and
allows the alfresco area to be used day or night.

project 3 |
The
owners were looking to introduce some formality and
structure to the garden. They wanted some space for the
kids to play, an area near the pool for sunbaking and an
attractive outdoor alfresco entertaining area.
The design involved a new pergola, concrete paving
around the pool, a gently sloping lawn area and a
terraced garden off to one side, along with some clever
design tricks to draw attention away from the off-centre
pool and palm.
This oasis is a
drought-tolerant garden,
cleverly mixing modern plants such as agaves with more
traditional ones such as ornamental pears, abelias and
lilly pillies.

Having created this client's outdoor environment for
their previous home, their new home became Scott's next
exciting challenge.
The
superbly-appointed kitchen/alfresco dining room 'floats'
above the generously proportioned swimming pool. The
alfresco living room overlooks the surrounding gardens, and captures the
expansive views of Port Philip Bay.
The
elegance of this splendid home has been extended in the
design of the pool, alfresco kitchen and dining room,
and surrounding gardens. The result is a picture in
which all these elements blend seamlessly together. The
building can be fully opened to enjoy the summer days or
nights, or it can be partially or fully closed if the
winds or weather dictate it all without loosing the
magnificent views and vistas.

This indoor-outdoor solution links the interior of the house
with the pool and back garden, which were previously
separated.
The resultant alfresco
entertaining space extends the home out to the pool and
garden, and can be used during the day or night, at any time
of the year - thanks to the outdoor heating.
The glass roofed
atrium has been designed to allow light into the rear of the
home, whilst preventing the alfresco living area from over
heating in summer.
This alfresco
space is used almost every day and has recently served
admirably for an 18th birthday party. It will soon be host
to a 50th birthday celebration, during which the
fully-stocked wine fridges will be put to good use.
