Not hardly, lol. I just pulled that photo off Pnterest. My dog is a 90-pound Retriever. He is MacGregor, chaser of balls and cats, and destroyer of garden plants, lol!

For this project, the clients were interested in creating an open, light and airy space catered for family living. As you can see, the house is a large proportioned villa with an extensive modern extension on the back which opens out and connects to the outdoor living areas, lush back garden and separate studio. The outdoor area has a generous deck that caters for outdoor entertaining with a dining and seating area, and bbq where the whole family can relax. Would love to know what everyone's feeling of the transformation are. Before After

What we did? Kwila deck, exposed aggregate concrete and raised planters. Before After

I suspect your best course of action would be to contact a local engineer and/or builder -- without knowing what area you are in , and local rules and regulations , any advice wouldn't be much value from us , and quite possibly won't meet compliance .
