Project Description
HYGGE LIVING
Rose Street, Annandale | Backyard
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This small inner-west garden needed a refresh, the client wanted a ‘hygge’ style garden which allowed us to design cosy, intimate spaces for them to enjoy. The clients also own a very large dog, which the team had to keep in mind when designing this space.
This led to us designing a custom seat featuring a large bed for their dog to lay down comfortably. The seat also features a nook for fire wood storage not only allowing for easy access but saving space in this small garden.
The overhead structure is a key aspect of this design, the clients wanted to make sure they had adequate protection from the rain. We had to ensure we could fulfil this idea but not make the space feel enclosed. Therefore we added 3 sky lights in the structure to let adequate light in and moveable louvers were placed on the side for a hygge feeling.
The garden has completely transformed, for a tiny garden in the inner-west it boasts of 2 seats, deck and undercover zone, designated pathway and grass zone. All these features make this garden a show stopper.
“It was really valuable to have the OUTHOUSE team come onsite and help with a hands-on training session, helping us understand to best care for the garden that gives us a sense of peace and tranquility. As we come into our third Summer following the build, many of the feature trees needed strategic pruning to promote shapely growth. The shrubs had really filled in, and it was great to understand the best way to trim and shape each of the varieties in the garden.
Overall, it speaks volumes to the ongoing passion and care delivered by the whole OUTHOUSE team.”
