Ponsonby project

The Ponsonby Backyard That Works After Dark

Vitex hardwood decking, backlit steel seating and a custom steel gas fireplace. A space that works at lunch and after dark.

The job

Paget Street, Ponsonby

An outdoor entertainment area with Vitex hardwood decking throughout, perforated backlit steel detailing on the seated areas and a custom-made steel gas fireplace.

We built the deck around the existing tree, with built-in seating along the edges, so the backyard works as well at lunch as it does after dark.

What we did

The scope

  • Timber subframe built around the existing tree
  • Vitex hardwood decking throughout
  • Built-in seating with perforated, backlit steel detailing
  • Custom-made steel gas fireplace
