Catherine Street, McCrae

Created with a relaxed formal theme, every window from the house has a garden view, allowing us to create a strong connection between indoors and out. The carefully selected planting scheme allows natural light to flood into the home in winter and provides shade in summer. Being only a block away from the white sands of McCrae beach, we created a soft and natural feel using travertine around the pool which complements the weatherboard house. This look is offset by the lush green of the lawn and mass planting. Frameless glass pool fencing makes the rear garden feel spacious and open and allows uninterrupted views from the home to the garden and pool. The beautifully designed home required an elegant outdoor landscape to complement and enhance the features of the home. In the evening, the pool and gardens light up creating a magnificent view from inside the home. Photography: Tim Turner Photographer
