Exterior Design
The outside of a house is seen by everyone and maintained by you. This section covers facades, planting, terraces and pools with an eye on what survives weather, not just what photographs well on a dry afternoon.
Our exteriors coverage leans on landscape practice: soil before plants, drainage before paving, shade before furniture.
In the works
Stories on exterior design are coming soon.
We publish when the measuring, testing and fact-checking are finished, not before. Join the letter and we will tell you when the first ones are live.

Facades
Brick, render, timber cladding and the colour of a front door.
Gardens & Landscaping
Planting plans and structure for gardens in heat, shade and wind.
Patios & Decks
Outdoor floors, balconies and terraces you will use more than twice a year.
Pools
Pool design, finishes and the running costs brochures tend to skip.
