Glenelg — Build & Landscape

A backyard built to be used all year, not just through summer.

A structural steel frame carries Louvretec louvres overhead, so the space opens up to the sun on a winter's afternoon and closes over when the weather turns. Around it, spotted gum decking and burnished concrete set the tone, with raised garden beds, a new boundary fence and lighting running through the whole space.

Living in it

Winter sun through the louvres on a long weekend, and the garden still going strong after dark. When the lighting comes up, the fire pit takes over: a cold night, a glass of red, and a backyard that's as good in July as it is in January.
