The landscape designers for this imposing two storey Federation home in Sydney's leafy Bellevue Hill - Growing Rooms Landscape Design Experts, approached Olde English Tiles to help them create a tessellated verandah to coordinate with their landscape design and complement the building's facade. After much discussion the clients chose the Fitzroy pattern in black/white/grey/pale blue & green with a matching Norwood border. Bluestone edging & steptreads complete the look. The muted colour scheme of the verandah floor connects the colours of the building's facade, including the blue door, with that of the pale grey stone of the front area, while the complexity of the Fitzroy pattern subtly reinforces the decorative detailing seen in the turned timber posts, valance, balustrading and gable ends, to deliver a fully integrated and visually balanced result.
