Dual High-End Living Spaces | Carrickfergus

The Challenge: Unsafe Structures & Limited Usability

The homeowners in Carrickfergus required two distinct, high-end outdoor areas that could be enjoyed regardless of the weather. A major obstacle was an old, rotten timber deck in the top corner of the garden, which had become unsafe and was no longer fit for use. The goal was to replace these neglected areas with a cohesive, modern design that maximized the garden’s potential for year-round entertaining.

Our Solution: Year-Round Luxury & Seamless Flow

We worked closely with the homeowners to deliver a layout that balanced aesthetics with practical, all-weather functionality:

• Feature Pergola & Main Patio: We constructed a large porcelain patio as the primary seating area, featuring a bespoke pergola. To ensure year-round use, the pergola was finished with an EPDM rubber roof and equipped with built-in heaters to manage the Northern Ireland climate.
• Curved Porcelain Transformation: We removed the unsafe, rotten decking and replaced it with a sweeping curved porcelain patio. This new area was designed to match the main patio, creating a consistent look across the entire garden.
• Connecting Path & Sleek Borders: To tie the two spaces together, we installed a connecting path and sleek borders, ensuring the transition between levels and areas felt natural and structured.
• Precision Execution: Every element was executed to a high standard, focusing on clean detailing and precision cuts to ensure the finish remains sharp for years to come.
