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
