A Modern Poolside Landscape Crafted for Effortless Family Living in Keilor

Keilor East

A refined outdoor upgrade designed to bring together everyday living and elevated leisure.

Studio Alba reimagined this multi-level Rosanna site into a cohesive landscape that balances structure, softness and functionality. The centrepiece is a 6.8 x 3.6m concrete pool finished in Puerto Rico ceramic mosaic and framed with Yarra Grey limestone to create a calm, contemporary palette.

Frameless glass and steel-rod fencing maintain safety while preserving clear sightlines across the garden. Composite decking, limestone steppers and raised garden beds with steel edging define movement and form throughout the space. Existing trees were retained to introduce natural shade and texture, adding maturity to the new works.

The outdoor entertaining zone includes a custom kitchen selected through Outdoor Domains, a built-in deck seat with integrated planting and a rendered feature wall that anchors the dining area. Space has been considered for a sauna, ice bath and outdoor furnishings to support year-round relaxation and wellness.

Practical needs have been seamlessly integrated with gravel parking extensions, widened driveway access and discreet placement of all pool equipment. The result is a highly resolved outdoor environment crafted for family life, weekend leisure and long-term enjoyment.
