The Matraville project showcases a seamless extension of the indoor living and dining area into the outdoors with the addition of a new deck at the rear of the house. This functional expansion integrates a large concrete bench, complete with a built-in BBQ and a lengthy seating bench, creating an ideal setting for entertaining.

Accessibility to the garden is enhanced by wide steps that also serve as an inviting place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Privacy considerations have been meticulously addressed with the installation of a solid wall incorporating glass blocks on one side, and a timber screen that rises from the seating bench backrest on the other, ensuring a harmonious neighbourly boundary.

Continuity and a sense of calm are achieved by the consistent use of timber across the deck, which flows into the steps, bench, and cabinetry. This unified material palette promotes a tranquil and restful atmosphere. Completing the deck's features is a retractable awning, allowing for adjustable sunlight exposure, ensuring the space remains comfortable and adaptable throughout the day.
