The owner of this urban terrace house wanted the small backyard to be a mini-retreat that could be used as additional living space. By removing the lawn and extending the courtyard area slightly, space was created for a dining table and a sun-lounger with space to move around. A small utility area doubles as space for a productive vegetable garden. As planting space in the courtyard was limited, plants were selected that could add drama and lushness without taking up too much space. Bold colours and textures and strong vertical lines from the canna lilies and clumping palms create the feeling of a lush tropical retreat all-year round. The pine timber fence was stained with Resene Waterborne Woodsman "Iroko" which forms a rich backdrop to the courtyard. Before: After: Check out the entire project here!

Yes the windows are in place and I’m sorry I didn’t see this before we had to make some decisions

Wow! Very impressive! I would love to know the colour of paint used for the walls and the trims - the skirtings look like a brighter white than the walls? I love it all!

The client wanted a refreshing upgrade to their kitchen with plenty of bench space and storage to accommodate their family. The kitchen is a great space to work in and very functional with enough space for their family of six. This contemporary kitchen ticks all the boxes! BEFORE AFTER Let us know what you think!
