Located in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula, this striking Flinders project showcases the intersection of rugged Australian materials and sophisticated engineering. Designed as a standalone outdoor room and visual anchor for a sprawling estate, this massive pergola serves as a vital link between ten individual garden rooms.
The structure is a masterclass in material selection, utilizing reclaimed ironbark timbers sourced from a historic Victorian wool shed. When paired with the architectural strength of solid rusted steel beams, the result is a timeless installation that feels like a natural part of the coastal Flinders landscape.
A true feat of clever design and engineering, this 100-metre long pergola is entirely self-supporting. Whether framing the property’s central water feature or providing a shaded sanctuary for summer entertaining, this project demonstrates how a custom outdoor room can define and elevate a high-end landscape design.
