the deck The deck is an outdoor room with a high awning roof built over. This dramatic roof gives one the feeling of being outside under the sky and yet still sheltered from the rain. The awning roof is freestanding to allow hot summer air to escape and to simplify construction. The architect designed the kitchen as a sculpture. It is also very practical and makes the most out of economical materials.

Ein Hanggrundstück in schönster Lage in Pöcking, in das sich das Bauvolumen dezent mittels gestaffelten Baukörpern einfügt. Zwei Vollgeschosse, die ebenfalls ineinander versetzt aufgeteilt sind, sitzen nach hinten versetzt auf einem Kellergeschoss, das sich in den Hang schiebt und gleichzeitig die Parkierung beinhaltet. Nach Süden öffnet sich das Obergeschoss wie ein Fernrohr, um den Bergblick einzufangen. Eine Lattungsebene aus weiß lasiertem Holz sorgt als Filterschicht wie ein Kleid für eine Staffelung der Baukörper und lässt das Obergeschoss edel über dem Hang schweben. Diese Lamellen müssen noch im Detail bemustert und sollen final in 2026 montiert werden. Neben weiß lasiertem Holz bestimmen Putzoberflächen in verschiedenen Körnungen sowie eloxiertes Aluminium in edlem, hellen Graubronzeton die Materialität. So lässt sich der dahinter verborgene Holzbau kaum erahnen, der jedoch zusammen mit einer Wärmepumpe den KfW 55 Standard erreicht.

L’espace extérieur, un toit-terrasse, de l’agence événementielle Helmut est exceptionnellement généreux. Il est utilisé à la fois pour des moments de repos et pour des événements plus animés, comme des séances de photos de mode ou des cocktails d'entreprise. Avec cette terrasse, nous voulions encourager la biodiversité et créer un véritable effet de jardin". Nous travaillons beaucoup avec les sens : les odeurs, les sons et les vues”. Pour simuler une sensation de jardin, le paysagiste a inséré plusieurs plates-bandes sur la terrasse et a fait pousser les plantes au niveau du sol, des plantes vivaces à fleurs comme Verbena Bonariensis et Gaura Lindheimeri ainsi que des arbustes à feuilles persistantes.

Samuel Moore, owner of Consilium Hortus, is renowned for creating beautiful, bespoke outdoor spaces which are designed specifically to meet his client’s tastes. Taking inspiration from landscapes, architecture, art, design and nature, Samuel meets briefs and creates stunning projects in gardens and spaces of all sizes. This recent project in Colchester, Essex, had a brief to create a fully equipped outdoor entertaining area. With a desire for an extension of their home, Samuel has created a space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A louvered pergola covers the full length of the back of the house. Despite being a permanent structural cover, the roof, which can turn 160 degrees, enables the sun to be chased as it moves throughout the day. Heaters and lights have been incorporated for those colder months, so those chillier days and evenings can still be spent outdoors. The slatted feature wall, not only matches the extended outdoor table but also provides a backdrop for the Outdoor Kitchen drawing out its Iroko Hardwood details. For a couple who love to entertain, it was obvious that a trio of cooking appliances needed to be incorporated into the outdoor kitchen design. Featuring our Gusto, the Bull BBQ and the Deli Vita Pizza Oven, the pair and their guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to alfresco dining. The addition of our single outdoor fridge also ensures that glasses are never empty, whatever the tipple.

A beautiful bespoke indoor kitchen that links effortlessly to the outdoors. The sliding doors can be opened to provide a kitchen in a single line layout with an outdoor food preparation and cooking space – perfect for entertaining and family life. Stunning Black Beauty Sensa stone helps to link the spaces with a full height upstand and work surface. This has been coupled with Silestone Eternal Staturio on the waterfall kitchen island in a matt finish. Matt black handleless kitchen cabinetry, a black Quooker tap, black Blanco undermount sink and appliances from Miele complete this super stylish and sophisticated kitchen in Lewisham.
