Working with natural materials and a bespoke design enabled Zones Landscaping Consultant Kate Ryan to create an inviting outdoor entertaining area in Mt Eden, Auckland.

Removing a tired deck and cracked paving created space for a new hardwood timber deck to be built level with the home’s existing floor height, improving usability and ensuring indoor-outdoor flow. A louvre, complemented with a bespoke slatted screen made from composite timber, ensures the newly created entertaining space can be used in all weathers.

An outdoor concrete fireplace set within a sunken seating area, is the pièce de résistance of this stunning garden transformation.
