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.
