Unless the surrounding gardens and landscaping are well-designed, a pool can be just a hole in the ground. With our Australian passion for outdoor living, today's outdoor spaces need to be multi-functional, user-friendly and inviting, both day and night.
This outdoor living area, from Ian Barker & Associates, (owners and principle designers Ian Barker and Scott Tymkin) is a perfect combination of contemporary lines, classic design details and functional elements. In keeping with the elegant styling of the home, the landscaping and gardens have a classic look and feel. The overall look is complimented by modern clean lines and features such as the fibre-optic lighting which combine to create a spectacular and glamorous outdoor entertaining area.
Ian Barker and Associates long list of happy clients credit the designer's eye for detail and his project management skills with much of the duo's success. Ian Barker & Associates provides prospective owners with a three-dimensional rendering to help them visualise the final product.
