Traditional Deck Design Ideas

The brief for this grand old Taringa residence was to blur the line between old and new. We renovated the 1910 Queenslander, restoring the enclosed front sleep-out to the original balcony and designing a new split staircase as a nod to tradition, while retaining functionality to access the tiered front yard. We added a rear extension consisting of a new master bedroom suite, larger kitchen, and family room leading to a deck that overlooks a leafy surround. A new laundry and utility rooms were added providing an abundance of purposeful storage including a laundry chute connecting them. Selection of materials, finishes and fixtures were thoughtfully considered so as to honour the history while providing modern functionality. Colour was integral to the design giving a contemporary twist on traditional colours.

con l'inserimento di decori alle pareti e arredi da esterni si crea un piccolo angolo privato dove prima c'era uno spazio dimenticato

The backyard has been transformed into an entertainers dream! We installed a large Merbau deck, with balusters to keep the high sections safe and installed a Colourbond pergola to protect the entertaining space from the weather all year around. We added a large garden bed with a feature tree and laid new Kikuyu turf.
