Mt Martha

An underutilised residual landscape of this suburban block in Mount Martha has been transformed by RB Landscapes into an entertaining alfresco area. The client wished to reinvigorate the outdoor space to create an outdoor gathering space for their family. The design incorporates an alfresco area complete with outdoor kitchen and wood fire oven, into the garden where a fire pit provides an atmospheric space. The use of natural materials is particularly prevalent in this design, with the corten roof of the alfresco area perfectly complementing the 2 contrasting types of stone used. Low retaining walls frame the space, creating seating opportunities whilst seamlessly melding into the stone path. A mix of native and indigenous plants will provide a sense of enclosure, but maintain views out of the garden embracing the feeling of contemporary suburban living.
