Designing around the existing heritage-listed house, we created a series of interconnected spaces for a young family, each with its own distinct function. A private entertaining courtyard at the rear offers a visual connection from inside to outside, with jasmine framing the threshold. The central pool zone acts as a bridge between the entertaining area and the front garden, with a largely Mediterranean planting palette setting the tone, including hydrangeas, bougainvillea, rosemary, olives, pencil pines, jasmine and citrus.
