bringing the feature to life at night.
“As you come through the front door,
you look straight through a large window
to the rear garden, so we wanted to create
a feature that would make a real design
statement,” says Marash.
Leafy plants and native grasses ensure
the garden is low maintenance, and works
with the clean-lined aesthetic.

Above left: An exposed concrete pathway slices
through the spotted gum timber deck and
continues around the lawn. LED strip lighting
beneath the pathway creates a shadow effect so
it looks as if it is floating above the grass. Because
the garden is very exposed, an automated awning
was installed over the spa to create some shading.
Top and above: An opaque panelled Perspex light
box is backlit to throw ambient light into the space
and add interest to the deck’s facade. The steel
arms that rise up and over the spa are intended to
frame the view from the house.
