Go with THE FLOW

With a generous dash of luxury, coupled with careful attention to detail, this contemporary outdoor living space is a winner

Tim Samuel, director of Tim Samuel Design, has been turning outdoor spaces into urban sanctuaries for a few decades. His approach to landscape design, and creating beautiful, liveable spaces, is the dual importance of both form and function. “They will always go hand in hand,” he says. “It is imperative that function is thought of first and then the fun stuff(the form) can be considered around this.”

There is certainly plenty of fun to be had in this urban oasis, with a sparkling swimming pool, alfresco dining space, barbecue and firepit seating area.

Tim says the homeowners’ brief was to design a contemporary outdoor space for relaxed, comfortable living at home. “They wanted to create a modern, easy-to-maintain pool and garden that can be used for entertaining year-round,” he says.
