Among the Trees
Designed to blur the boundaries between indoors and out, this elevated deck extension creates a place for gathering, entertaining and slowing down amidst the surrounding landscape.
The brief was simple: to create an outdoor space that could be enjoyed throughout the year while strengthening the home's connection to its natural setting. An extended deck and expansive bifold windows establish a seamless transition between inside and out, allowing natural light and fresh air to become an integral part of everyday living.
A custom automated louvred roof, paired with discreet mesh weather screens, provides protection from the elements without compromising the openness of the space. The result is an outdoor room that adapts effortlessly to changing seasons and weather conditions, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
Whether shared over an evening drink with friends or enjoyed in quiet solitude beneath the canopy of trees, this space has become a natural extension of the home, one that encourages connection, conversation and a deeper appreciation for the environment that surrounds it.
Thoughtfully designed and quietly functional, it is a reminder that the most memorable spaces are often those that allow us to feel most connected … to our homes, to nature and to each other.
The Nairobi woven dining armchairs are the perfect blend of style and comfort, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space while promoting a sense of openness and ensure a relaxed seating experience.
The Macrocarpa wooden ceiling panels make this an intimate space and the rain sensored louvres and mesh shades elevate this space into an all year round entertainers delight, adapting effortlessly to any outdoor elements.

The dated design not only affected functionality but also detracted from the overall aesthetic of the home, emphasising the need for a thoughtful transformation to enhance accessibility and visual appeal.

Pre-renovation: The tiny deck was an uneventful space that lacked a seamless connection from the kitchen and dining areas, resulting in a disjointed flow throughout the home. With limited room for socialising, this area failed to inspire gatherings or outdoor relaxation, leaving it underutilised.
