Steve and Sarah in Claremont had just renovated their beautiful home and added in a large kitchen extension. All that was missing was an outdoor area to entertain friends in – but it had to be protected from the elements.

The raised area outside the kitchen was the perfect spot to sit and look over their gardens and ponds, but harsh sunlight and heavy rains often interfered.

Patio Living designed and built a stunning alfresco area with a roof that matched their home’s, white lining boards that suited the house’s character, even the federation trim around the perimeter was an exact replica of the one on their veranda.

LED lights illuminate the alfresco area and gardens in the late evening. Now the entire family spends most of their free time chilling out in the new space.
