St Peters
The Journey
Our St Peters project centred on transforming a dated backyard into a contemporary outdoor living space that would better suit the family’s lifestyle while complementing the character of the existing home. The brief was to create a functional entertaining area, improve the connection between the house and garden, and deliver a low-maintenance landscape that could be enjoyed throughout every season.
The transformation included the construction of a new covered alfresco entertaining area complete with skylights and a lined ceiling, premium bluestone paving, new retaining walls and garden beds, extensive planting, irrigation, landscape lighting and a lush new lawn. Every element was carefully considered to maximise the available space while creating a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor living areas.
