To further capitalise on the space available, and create a fluidity inside and out, Shaun created an outdoor room defined by white brick 'ha-ha' walls; a ha-ha being a recessed landscape design element that creates a vertical barrier whilst still preserving uninterrupted views of the area beyond.

Combined with a couple of full-height walls featuring large circular apertures, the design of this outdoor room adds depth and intrigue to the property without inhibiting the flow of space and light. The white brickwork, which defines the entire ground floor, also serves to create the mid-century modern look that the owners, Don and Kelvie, liked.
