Welcome back to past clients
We looooove to welcome back old friends – after completing an alfreco outdoor living area for Andrew & Annabel 10 years earlier at their previous home in Killara; it was great to work with them again at their new home & welcome them back into the Emanate Family.
Although we already had a relationship with Andrew & Annabel, we still took them on the journey at the beginning to ensure we got the design & detail perfect. It had been 10 years since their last alfresco construction – new home, kids have got older & circumstances naturally change; so we needed to understand exactly what they were looking for in their new home.
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 and a little ugly - 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 apply to Outdoor Rooms the architectural-style thinking
that uncovers your needs & your tastes...
then get the details right.
”We are delighted with the product & team - also the after sales/completion service.
