Project Spotlight: Hendra Private Residence

 

A big backyard with a beautiful pool, could life get much better than that? According to a Hendra, QLD homeowner, that was just the beginning! 

The owner envisioned a full upgrade to their outdoor area. The existing pool was 52m², and the owner wanted it extended to include a spa, bench seating, steps, with visions of an onyx water and light feature. The owner knew the tilework had to be of a very high standard to bring the pool features together and draw the eye towards the stand-out onyx feature. After doing research, the homeowners worked with designer, Alistair Hutton, who would bring their dream to reality. Alistair contacted Sam Gardener, an expert tiler specialising in pools to handle the installation. 

The backyard was already a hub of activity when Sam arrived on the scene. The team from Everscapes Landscaping were overhauling the backyard area to include a new fireplace and garden beds. After lengthy discussions and site visits with the owner on what had to be done, Sam immediately contacted LATICRETE Australia Technical Sales Representative, Shane Anderson in QLD to discuss the project and obtain advice. Sam knew LATICRETE products provided solutions which he and countless other contractors around the world have come to trust and rely on.

Jealous much? We are! Don MacDonald and his team from The Orchid Group recently completed this outdoor area of this beautiful home on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. The project features a filled and honed Travertine deck and stairs, along with Granite ground, and honed in-situ, all installed using a range of LATICRETE materials. Well done!
