For All Seasons

The ideal place for relaxed entertaining and casual dining, no matter what the season.

Thanks to the design and construction expertise of Fifth Season Landscapes, the owners of this Sydney property have a garden that exceeds expectations — an enticing, easy-to-use entertainer’s garden that seamlessly blends classic stone and timber with contemporary polished concrete and curved glass.

“The client brief was to update an existing outdoor space by providing an adaptable weatherproof area that would allow for winter sun and natural light. We were also asked to provide adequate space for outdoor dining along with a built-in cooking area,” says Phil Antcliff, a director of Fifth Season Landscapes.

Of equal importance was ensuring the new space forged a flawless connection with the existing garden areas, which included a swimming pool. “To this aim, the pivotal point in the garden is the spotted gum decking. This deck is the link between the barbecue, pool, house and garden,” says Phil.
