So much of the charm of the original beach shack came from the beautiful big frangipani tree at the front of the block. We love that it continues to provide a green canopy feature from the guest studio. The curved block work on the garage and the studio wall provides the Mediterranean touch we were after and the top garden will eventually grow to spill over the rendered walls. We can’t wait to watch all this lush greenery flourish over the next few years!
