A landscape project designed to withstand Wellington’s windy conditions.

The brief was to create shelter from the gale force winds without hindering the stunning views. We used the same timber batten throughout to achieve multiple goals:

— Lineal shading from the sun with a batten top pergola
— Filtered protection from the wind while still enabling natural light and airflow
— Privacy from neighbours
— Modern aesthetic and a consistent theme throughout the property

The bespoke entranceway design incorporated batten screening, retaining, Vitex decking and a customised Vitex bench seat to fit perfectly within the small contained area, creating the illusion of more space and light. A lockable aluminium framed gate perfectly completed the brief.

The frameless glass balustrade with matt black spigots is built to withstand even the strongest of gale force winds.
