Region: North Shore

When the owners of this Hunters Hill home came to us, they wanted another room added to the house for entertaining. The space between the kitchen and the carport gave us the perfect backbone to build it. We built a pause space for the family to relax and unwind all year round.

The Growing Rooms team used a collection of natural finishes, curves and garden beds filled with a lush planting palette all covered with an operable louvre system to allow for the change of seasons and establish a peaceful atmosphere. Custom-built seating and timber decking flush with the interior floors really add to the usable space of the home.

Lush lawns provide the comfortable barefoot access to the pool area. The lawns connect all zones whilst providing an area for the children to kick a ball and thoroughly enjoy the outdoors.

To increase the privacy from the street we wrapped the carport in Cedar panelling which provides the perfect backdrop from the new outdoor lounge area, extending the amazing aesthetics.

Last but not least, to maximise the visual impact from the streetscape, we constructed heritage style sandstone walling and formal gardens which capture the beauty of a bygone era that is Hunters Hill.

Mosman Garden Design – Fun for the Family

The recently bought property is the new home to a family of five. Moving in with 3 lovely kids the owners were after a child-friendly outdoor space with a safe pool area and a welcoming entertaining area.

A huge double garage blocked the view from the living room over the garden and took up a lot of usable space. We demolished the garage to create a clear sight and an open family-friendly garden with a lot of lawn space to play and relax.

In order to maintain vehicle access ‘Turf Cell’ was installed underneath a lush, high quality soft leaved buffalo lawn.

Next to the house we installed a large Sydney Sandstone-paved entertaining area including a built-in BBQ with stone bench top and comfy lounge furniture for family and friends. Spotted gum hardwood timber throughout the garden gives the space a warm, organic feel and softens the hard surfaces.

We retained and refurbished the existing kidney-shaped pool, adding custom-cut sandstone coping that follows its curves. The pool enclosure was made safe and secure using curved glass panels, again to accentuate the curved lines of the pool, all equipped with an outdoor shower.

The owners now enjoy watching their little ones play safely in the pool and strolling through their beautiful sunny garden.
