The brief was simple: keep what worked and make it better. The existing alfresco was transformed into a fully enclosed outdoor kitchen, complete with Smeg appliances, bifold windows, fixed glazing and motorised blinds. A space designed for year-round entertaining, whatever the weather.
The transformation focused on creating a seamless extension of the existing home. The enclosed kitchen allows the space to function throughout the year while maintaining a strong connection to the outdoors.
Material selections, integrated appliances and carefully considered openings create a refined entertaining environment that balances everyday practicality with a considered design response.
