Backyard

The roofing with party lights strung and the screening mechanim

Q

Very cool mid century outdoor area

Q

Interesting way to integrate from house to outdoors on a sloping block, with some outdoor covered space as well. A number of pictures from different angles from this outdoor build. A modified version of this from the dining area would suit an option where the carport/portico does not encroach on the space where the dining room windows currently is

Q

Raised deck, rather than paving and simple shading and screening option for outdoor entertaining

Q

I like the roof option for outdoor entertaining. Gives options to let sun in, in winter? Bbq/fire space is good

Q

This is the same problem our house has re: slope of block and retaining wall. The photos of this whole Reno are interesting as they have done something under there house from what I can tell

Q

Enclosed BBQ, with protection from the elements for the cook!

Q

That is a great idea for protecting a bbq!

Q

Another idea for a ‘sunken’ space

Q

Inbuilt seats for outside entertaining (if we do that)

Q

Could work, similar to current backyard space in - but wide stairs could link the entertaining/bbq area with flat backyard.

Q

Built in planters

Q

I like how this provides an outdoor covered area, joined to the house/block/current floor plan, but the concept of the seamless connection has been done well

Q

A different way to model the outdoor entertaining area to create more usable space

Q

Interesting link to the house and use of different spaces at different heights in the yard that connect well

Q

Outdoor cooking space is well organised, although a little big for us. Roof cellar letting in natural light

Q

Outdoor covered space. Like the roof, but would not have the pitch - would be flat or angled.

Q

If we did do a covered outdoor entertaining with a solid roof, then the roof looks quite good.

Q

If we ever did outdoor bike storage

Q

If we ever did outdoor bike storage

Q

For southern side of the house (path, rather than grass that does not grow!

Q

A different way to add a privacy screen along the back fence near outside entertaining if any trees have to be removed.

Q

Very random - covered bar area to outdoor entertaining

Q

If we ever decided to have a detached shed in southern end of back yard
