Wellness retreat

The lower garden of Wellness Retreat is transformed into a calm, multifunctional courtyard that extends the gym into a dedicated wellness zone. Cascading greenery softens the stone wall behind warm hardwood seating, while the concrete floor blurs the line between indoors and out. A vaulted timber‑lined ceiling and concealed lighting create a rich, spa‑like ambience, complemented by red brick screening and a shallow reflection pond that bounces soft light into the space. The sauna sits privately within lush planting, accessed by a raised timber boardwalk that enhances the retreat‑like experience.

Beyond the courtyard, the rear garden is refined with brick breezeway screening and dense planting to soften boundary walls and provide privacy. Toward the front of the home, the reworked courtyard becomes a functional breakout space for work or small gatherings, replacing the steep ramp with a cohesive mix of decking and concrete. A separate guest entrance connects via a raised boardwalk to a redesigned front staircase, unified by timber, concrete, and subtle exterior lighting that ties the entire outdoor sequence together.
