Transforming Challenging Backyards Into Architectural Sanctuaries

Emanate & Co was founded with a singular focus to elevate the standard of outdoor living. Moving beyond basic decks and simple pergolas, the company evolved to specialise exclusively in premium alfresco spaces and outdoor rooms.

The overarching mission is to transform difficult, unusable backyards into luxurious, highly functional extensions of the main residence. Every project is approached with the firm belief that an outdoor entertaining area must offer the same level of comfort, structural durability, and architectural elegance as the interior of the home.

Emanate & Co (Adrian and his team) have built our vergola during July/August 2025.
I think it would be fair to say we have been an exacting client and Adrian and his team (Jorge and co) have done a wonderful job.

The team has been very good at communicating. They are timely and considerate on site and patient!

Adrian’s plans were excellent. He dealt with council and was very good at letting us know the progress with council and the build.

The end result is a fab vergola that enhances our house and garden and will be a wonderful place to spend the summer.

Emanate & Co have definitely delivered on what we envisaged and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Our biggest regret in creating our outdoor entertaining space was not engaging Adrian at Emanate & Co right at the beginning.

We would have saved ourselves a lot of money, time and frustration. From the moment we met with Adrian, we knew we had found the person who could bring our deck dreams to life.

Adrian's advice, communication and the quality of finishes were always spot on. We have renovated our entire home and our experience with Adrian was amongst the best of any trades we have engaged.

We basically lived in the space Adrian and team created over the summer and are so grateful for the value he has added to our home and the improvements this has made to how we live and socialise at home.

We have absolutely no hesitations in recommending Adrian and the Emanate & Co team.
