Outdoor Living
Spending long, languid summer evenings
around the barbecue with family and friends
is a tradition many of us grew up with.
Outdoor living has always been a big part of
our Kiwi lifestyle.
Nothing has changed in that respect, but
the way we are doing it has evolved beautifully,
almost beyond recognition.
Wobbly, three-legged charcoal barbecues
have made way for sophisticated stainless steel
cookers, wood-fired pizza ovens and flaming
braziers, while fold-out deck chairs and trestle
tables have been replaced with sleek outdoor
dining sets and all-weather lounge suites.
Inside out, outside in
Our outdoor living spaces are getting bigger,
better and more luxurious. We want them to
be an extension of our indoor living spaces –
somewhere that we can entertain, relax and
soak up the outdoors in comfort, all year round,
and enjoy from the inside looking out.
At Landmark we love the outdoors as much
as you do. That is why we make outdoor living
spaces a major consideration in all our plans.
Whether it is a swimming pool to plunge into
during the summer or an outdoor fireplace to
toast marshmallows on in winter, our designs
make the most of your outdoor space, so you
can too.
Tips:
• Make your outdoor spaces easily
viewable and accessible from the
indoors
• Section your outdoor space into zones,
such as dining and relaxing areas
• Add a fire/heat source – it draws
people in
• Include a variety of seating options,
from wicker sofas to benches and bar
stools
• Use clever planting and screens to
create more private outdoor rooms
• Include a covered area for year-round
enjoyment
