By OuterSpace
A quiet retreat located in the newly developed Clearwater Springs, this design and build project by OuterSpace is epitomising the functionality that complements the quality and specification of the home built by Metzger Builders.
The architectural design and landscape work as one; creating harmony with its surroundings, welcoming outside in, through ample glazing, and encouraging its owners to step out and enjoy outdoor living.
Built for entertaining, numerous elegant outdoor living areas that are sheltered from the prevailing winds, these clients can do
just that! Easy family living and uninterrupted views are refined by seamless indoor-outdoor flow to an elevated outdoor domain for sunset socialising. A fireplace along with a built in barbeque in the open-plan louvred area adds extra warmth and ambience on winter nights extending the outdoor living period.
Terraced gardens with coloured concrete floating step down to a large open lawn area are a welcome vantage point looking over the manicured lawns and gardens down to the jetty and Clearwater Lakes.
OuterSpace is an award-winning landscape design and construction firm that specialises in creating perfect outer spaces in both the residential and commercial sectors.
With a reputation for excellence in service, workmanship and design. Our friendly, professional and comprehensive service is backed by effective communication, expert care, attention to detail and ability to handle variations as required. We have a track record for completing projects on time, within budget and to scope. We offer clear process and details of project management to deliver high-quality outcome with best-practice solutions. There are currently 17 permanent staff members who are involved in the daily operations of the company.
The design side of the business provides:
Concept Plans: After an initial site visit and client meeting, we work with their ideas and budget to develop a concept plan, indicating the site layout and site-specific landscape features. Once we have finalised the plans, we can then present an anticipated construction program and indicative costs.
Planting Plans: From the completed concept plan we then develop an understanding of the client’s preferences in terms of style, maintenance and ecological preferences. The planting plan shows plant species, quantities, exact locations, as well as remarks to allow for further understanding of the planting palette.
Construction Details: After acceptance of our plan we develop elevations, sections and detailed construction drawings for complex elements of the landscape plan, including engineering and product specifications.
Resource and Building Consents: Production of all paperwork and detail specifications for any construction work which requires compliance with local authorities, e.g. swimming pools, retaining walls, summerhouses/outdoor rooms and waterway work.
While we have full landscape architectural design capability, we have crews that work on build-only projects of all scales and can also work off supplied plans.
The build-only side of the business provides:
Landscape Construction: We provide an extensive range of in-house landscape construction, ranging from water-feature and swimming pool construction, concrete and asphalt placement, fencing and block walls right through to irrigating, planting and other soft landscaping.
Specialist Construction: With having a number of trade qualified people, including a Licensed Building Practitioner within our experienced team, we can carry out restricted building work including but not limited to retaining walls, bridges and other specialised construction work.
We look forward to collaborating with you on your next project.
