Welcome back
We looooove to welcome back old friends – after completing an alfreco outdoor living area for Andrew & Annabel about 10 years earlier at their previous home in Killara; it was great to have them back at their new home.
Although we already had a relationship with them, we still took them on the journey at the beginning to ensure we got the design & detail perfect.
The existing structure had a few ‘flaws’ that we needed to work around:
- There was an existing glass roof which just didn’t work on a number of factors
The structure was very ‘top heavy’ & bulky; - There was a narrow passage way which was effectivey a dead space & wasn’t able to be used
Pointer….To learn a bit more about getting the right size for your outdoor living area, read more here - The old fashioned timber pergola down the far end had no protection from the elements & was inviting them out to use the area



”We are delighted with the product & team - also the after sales/completion service.

We would highly recommend them to anyone
