The long, narrow space, embraced by the home and office, was re-worked into two terraces linked by a generous flight of stairs. A long, reflective pool punctuates the upper terrace, with a contemporary, slatted, black granite fountain as its centrepiece. Reflected light off the water lightens the area, and has introduced a new energy into this space.

Volcanic red lattice screens create a dramatic backdrop for the classic water feature, at the same time appealing to the client’s love of vibrant colour. The beautiful screens feature Victorian detailing in their outer frames of square apertures, with diamond-shapes in the centre inlays.

Sandstone tiles edge the water feature and the stairs to the lower terrace. A solid row of tiles leads to the pool along the axis set by the majestic tree. For the rest, Jan chose one of his favourite floor surfaces – generous squares of multi-coloured pressed pebble inlay. The colour variation in the pebbles visually softens the surface.
