The Pool Deck Unley

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.

About the
Professional

My passion is to create a functional harmony that makes buildings and spaces a joy to inhabit. I have built an architectural practice in Adelaide focusing primarily on the needs of clients and how they relate to their buildings. I enjoy taking the time to understand my clients – what they need now and what they want in the future.

My experience as a sole practitioner, combined with time spent at some of Adelaide’s larger design firms, creates a depth of industry knowledge across all types of projects. My range of experience extends from residential renovation to large-scale public works. 

Through my practice, Peter Woolman Architect, I offer highly personalised, inspiring and practical architectural and design services for:

• Residential – new homes and renovation

• Heritage-listed buildings

• Commercial/industrial – small to medium size.

I create design solutions that work together with the surrounding environment. I create buildings that reduce energy costs by using natural energy efficiently. I deliver detailed design, leaving no room for confusion between the design and building phase.

Peter Woolman Architect is committed to creating the design solution that you need.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
