CHARM

BRIEF
TO DESIGN

Blending rustic charm with modern luxury, this outdoor retreat is where history & character meet convenience & relaxation.

To modernise a rustic acreage while preserving its original charm & grandeur. In unusual circumstances, we did not draw the initial designs, but were recommended by the client’s landscaping company to undertake the build. The task was to fulfil our client’s goals of a contemporary outdoor retreat that blends modern conveniences with the property's historical character.

The client envisioned transforming the property, which featured several old cottage-style buildings, into a luxurious, contemporary space that retained its historical essence. Luxury Pools & Outdoor Living was selected for the construction phase based on a recommendation from the landscape design company involved in the project, following the initial contractor's inability to meet the client's eclectic requirements.

Motivated by a desire for a serene & private retreat for the family, this client sought a comprehensive overhaul of the outdoor space. This included a fully tiled pool with integrated spa jets intended for relaxation after work. The project extended well beyond the pool, encompassing significant structural & aesthetic enhancements across the property.

We embraced this ambitious vision, expertly blending contemporary luxury with historical essence, resulting in a uniquely opulent outdoor living space that exudes both elegance and timeless charm.

BEHIND
THE BUILD

To bring this eclectic design to life, we drew upon our extensive experience to guide the client towards features that would enhance their vision of blending historic charm with contemporary luxury. Traditional touches were seamlessly integrated with modern conveniences in subtle yet impactful ways.

At the heart of the project lies a fully tiled pool, featuring the luxurious addition of integrated spa jets, crafted for the family's relaxation & enjoyment. This pool, with its beautiful Ezarri Niebla Mosaic green tiles from Europe Imports, became the heart of the outdoor space, offering a serene retreat amidst the property's natural beauty. To complement the pool, offset Europe Imports stone coping tiles that harmonise with the existing brickwork were used to create a cohesive & elegant aesthetic.

Inspired by the timeless appeal of the cottage-style buildings, we utilised traditional materials such as brick & heavy timber to infuse the project with a sense of history. Elevating the space's aesthetic, we recommended staining the magnificent heavy posts & exposed rafters, rather than painting them, to highlight their natural beauty. Reflecting the stunning rural landscape, the house's verandah was renovated with two expansive Spotted Gum decks complemented by custom-made bricks laid in a herringbone pattern to create a warm & inviting ambiance.

These thoughtful choices perfectly captured the property's charm & character, skillfully melding the old with the new to create a truly unique & luxurious outdoor living space.

END
RESULT

We brought this vision to life with unparalleled craftsmanship & a keen understanding of our client's architectural aspirations while transcending obstacles such as unpredictable weather.

The pool serves as the centrepiece of the outdoor space, seamlessly blending tranquillity with the natural splendour of the surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the historical charm of old cottage-style buildings, we incorporated traditional materials like brick & heavy timber.

The extensive renovation of the verandah, now graced with two expansive Spotted Gum decks, pays homage to the site's rich history. Custom-made bricks laid in herringbone patterns further reflect meticulous craftsmanship, imbuing the area with timeless elegance & allure.

The final design is a symphony of old & new, blending contemporary sophistication with historical reverence. This project fulfilled the client's vision of a unique & charming outdoor living space, where every element speaks to both heritage & innovation.

The spaces we create start with your vision + end with the highest quality offering in pool and outdoor design excellence.
