Beach House
Several aspects of the hard landscaping, such as the stepped pathway and exterior lighting, were designed by the architect.
The remaining landscape was installed to the clients’ brief with our guidance on plant choices.
A few additional design touches were added with the surplus timber. The teak had been imported from a disassembled house in Bali and used extensively in the architecture. The reclining sun beds and beach access walkway , were constructed by our team.

Similarly, excess timber was used in the construction of the outdoor shower, and as a walkway to the beach.
