Capturing the essence of Tuscany with a contemporary twist, this villa radiates modern elegance amidst its Italian - inspired architecture. The structures are thoughttully arranged around a private courtyard, evoking a sense of timeless charm. Emphasizing the illusion of separate additions over time, diverse finishes and a dynamic interplay of roof heights and massing create a captivating aesthetic that seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary flair.

Uber cool gated development in Epping. Our brief was to redesign the space to the rear of the house. We sited the pool, specified some gorgeous Italian pool tiling, re-shaped the decking adding in curves to what was a very ordinary rectangular deck. Following on with the curves we added a sandstone paved area and within that a dining terrace with a chunky oak pergola to support pendant lighting over the new dining furniture. We used a drought tolerant planting scheme with a mediterranean palette. The exception to this was the addition of Hydrangea panniculata for those beautiful big white flowers in the summer. Rabbits were a big problem and plants were also selected with this in mind.
