Custom Outdoor Table



                               Original Screened Porch Exterior
                                                             A fresh lick of white paint transformed the screened back veranda
                                                             into a bright and airy room that capitalises on views out to the water.
                                                             The narrow space is arranged into separate seating areas for adults
                                                             and kids, which are demarcated using blue Paola Lenti outdoor rope
                                                             rugs and populated with hard-wearing yet comfortable outdoor
                                                             furniture.

                                                             An additional area for entertaining is found on the lake itself, where
                                                             custom units that hold storage, cooking apparatus, and even a TV
                                                             are built into a shelter on the dock. Expertly detailed to resist water
                                                             damage, particularly in the case of inevitable spring floods, each unit
                                                             is constructed entirely from powder-coated aluminium, and includes
                                                             cleats around its perimeter so that a cover can be quickly pulled over
                                                             in anticipation of adverse weather.

                                                             Throughout the project, the unexpectedly harmonious relationship
                                                             between the modern and the traditional created by Reigo & Bauer’s
                                                             light touch results in a celebration of the old, while enkindling an
                                                             appreciation for the new.                      dw
