This project for the Avenue Hotel centered around creating a vibrant and inviting outdoor space for guests to enjoy. The client desired an area that encouraged social interaction and facilitated a relaxed atmosphere, while maintaining an air of modern sophistication. To achieve this, they selected a combination of sleek lounge chairs, perfectly positioned coffee tables for shared conversations, and comfortable ottomans that invite relaxation. The open-air design allows guests to fully embrace the surrounding environment, while the carefully curated furniture ensures a sense of comfort and style. The result is an outdoor setting that seamlessly extends the hotel’s welcoming atmosphere, providing the perfect space for guests to connect and unwind.

 

 

 

 

Bluff Avenue

 

This Bluff Avenue project exemplifies the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living, creating a luxurious haven tailored to the client’s vision. Undercover, the Core dining table, paired with Breeze dining chairs, forms a sophisticated setting for al fresco dining, perfect for enjoying meals in the fresh air. To further enhance this space, lightweight Parc rocking chairs were introduced, offering a relaxed seating option that can be easily moved to the far end of the pool area to capitalize on the breathtaking ocean views.

Poolside, the client envisioned a tranquil oasis for relaxation and sun-drenched leisure. The Savannah daybed module, accompanied by Escape sunbeds, Level side tables, and On-the-Move side tables, provides the ultimate setting for lounging and socializing. These carefully chosen pieces offer both comfort and style, creating an idyllic retreat for soaking up the sun.

On the other side of the property, the Cave swing sofa offers a secluded escape, perfect for quiet moments of relaxation or intimate conversations. This thoughtful placement caters to the client’s desire for a more private and tranquil zone within their outdoor space.

This project showcases the power of considered furniture choices in crafting a truly personalized outdoor haven, catering to both social gatherings and moments of peaceful solitude, with the flexibility to adapt to the client’s needs throughout the day.

 

 

 

 

Smiths Beach

 

This Smiths Beach project, a collaboration with Mint Design and TLC Pools, beautifully illustrates how a thoughtfully designed outdoor space can enhance a coastal lifestyle. The client desired a welcoming area for friends and family, with a particular emphasis on entertaining grandchildren, making a pool a central feature.


To overcome the site’s challenges, such as a significant level change and the need for retaining walls, Mint Design expertly crafted a space that seamlessly connects with the home. A breezeway, designed by Neil Architecture, provides easy access from the living areas, while carefully selected plantings soften the imposing walls and introduce a sense of lushness.

Recognizing the coastal location, the garden design incorporates native and Mediterranean plants that thrive in salty air, ensuring a beautiful and resilient landscape. Touches like a curved retaining wall, echoed in the decking and bench seat, add visual interest and soften the overall design.


To complement this stunning setting for the photoshoot, we provided the Breeze Lounge Chair, Breeze Highback Chair, and On-the-Move Side Table. These pieces, with their relaxed yet sophisticated aesthetic, invite leisurely afternoons spent enjoying the pool and garden, perfectly embodying the client’s vision of a vibrant and welcoming outdoor haven.

Kingston Heath Golf Club

 

This Kingston Heath Golf Club project beautifully demonstrates how the strategic selection of furniture can enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a space. The client aimed to create distinct yet harmonious zones within their outdoor area, catering to both relaxation and dining.

We provided a curated selection of pieces from the elegant Kenzo and Safi collections for this project, their classic designs perfectly complementing the club’s refined atmosphere. Undercover, Kenzo Lounge Chairs, a Kenzo Sofa, and a matching Coffee Table create an inviting space for members to unwind and socialize. This area flows seamlessly into a dining zone furnished with Kenzo Dining Chairs and Safi Tables, offering a comfortable and sophisticated setting for enjoying meals.

In the open-air section, the same Kenzo Dining Chairs and Safi Tables extend the club’s dining capacity while maintaining a consistent design aesthetic. Large octagonal timber umbrellas, also provided by us, offer ample shade, ensuring guests can comfortably enjoy the outdoors regardless of the weather.

This project exemplifies how carefully curated furniture can transform an outdoor area into a versatile and welcoming environment, catering to a range of needs and preferences while maintaining a cohesive and elegant design./p>

 

 

 

 

Warrandyte Photoshoot

 

This Warrandyte project, a collaboration with Mint Design and TLC Pools, showcases a stunning pool, spa, and landscape design that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. Set amidst the beautiful bushlands of Warrandyte, the project perfectly complements the contemporary architecture of the home.  


The unique shape of the spa and the curved pool soften the unrefined concrete finishes of the home’s exterior, while the round paving slabs subtly guide the eye towards a lower lounge area, ideal for gathering around the firepit on cool evenings.

For this project, we provided the Moments Lounge Chair, Horizon Modular Sofa, and On-the-Move Side Table to complement the photoshoot and enhance the overall aesthetic. These pieces, with their modern design and focus on comfort, create an inviting space for relaxation and social interaction, perfectly blending with the surrounding landscape.

This exceptional design earned TLC Pools the Gold award for Best Concrete Pool and Spa Combination and the prestigious Pool of the Year award, a testament to the successful collaboration and stunning execution of this project.

Aurum Exhibit

 

This collaboration with Mint Design and TLC Pools for the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show culminated in “Aurum,” a show garden that masterfully blends modern Hollywood glamour with the tranquility of nature. Inspired by the Latin word for gold, Aurum seamlessly integrates elements of modernist and Art Deco philosophy with contemporary design principles, resulting in a space that is both opulent and grounded.
The design features a refreshing color palette and a captivating interplay of materials, textures, and patterns, reflecting a climate-conscious and people-centric approach. Aurum challenges the traditional divide between architecture and nature, demonstrating their harmonious coexistence.

Our Breeze dining chairs, with their elegant yet understated design, were chosen to complement this vision. Placed within the garden’s “Outdoor Room,” they provide a comfortable and stylish setting for visitors to relax and connect, embodying the garden’s ethos of casual elegance and social connection.

The garden flows organically through a series of spaces designed for effortless enjoyment and relaxation. Bold contrasts between delicate and robust elements, man-made and natural features, create a captivating visual journey.

Aurum’s impressive design and meticulous execution earned it a multitude of awards at the 2023 show, including Gold in the Show Garden Competition, the Innovative Design Award, the Construction Award, and the People’s Choice Award.
