Title:: The Pool Deck Unley
Architect:: Peter Woolman Architect
Category:: Residential/; Renovations and Extensions

This project involved a re-work of a rear yard space that wasn't working. The space was small – the brief was large – a pool, undercover parking and a large entertaining space. It all just fits!! The intent here was to make the most of the slope by introducing stepped but flat platforms. This gave the space a deeper feel than there actually is and an elevated outlook from the family/meals areas through to the pool.

An interplay of polished concrete and a reconstituted decking material provides sophistication softened with the tones of the decking.

The large entertaining area has connections with the inside through the use of stone (borrowed from the fireplace) and the family/meals area opens almost entirely to this new outdoor patio.

A stylish, modern verandah hides some of the sins of an 80's back-of-house renovation and provides shade in the heat of summer and weather protection through winter. A space that is now enjoyed and used fully all year around.
