Workshop And Alfresco: Highton

A Workshop & Alfresco Designed for Work and Relaxation

The Brief
Our client wanted to enhance their home with a functional workshop space and a stylish alfresco area—creating the perfect blend of practicality and outdoor living.

The Design Approach
Designed for year-round usability, the workshop is a highly functional space tailored for mechanical projects while offering the comforts of home. The alfresco area was thoughtfully integrated to provide a relaxing outdoor retreat, ensuring both spaces complement the existing residence.

Key Features Of The Workshop

• Fully Equipped Bathroom – Added convenience for extended work sessions.

• Dedicated Storage Areas – Keeping tools and equipment neatly organised.

• Main Workshop with Roller Door – Easy access for large projects.

• Second Dust-Free Work Area – Ideal for delicate, detailed tasks.

• Sound-Insulated Brick Veneer Walls – Reducing noise impact on neighbouring properties.

• Striking Exterior Finish – BGC cladding with Nuline boards below Duragroove for a cohesive, modern façade.

Key Features Of The Alfresco Area
The alfresco area was designed as a relaxing outdoor retreat, blending functionality with aesthetics.

• Pitched Multiwall Roof And Exposed Beams – A sleek, clean design that prevents birds from perching.

• Optimised Natural Light – Sunlight filters through the bedroom window while blinds provide shade from the afternoon sun.

• ModWood Composite Decking – A durable, maintenance-free solution that enhances the space’s appeal.

The Result
This project successfully integrates a purpose-built workshop with a beautifully designed alfresco area, delivering both functionality and relaxation.
