A Hamptons-Inspired Balcony Built for Sydney Living
A retractable fabric awning just wasn’t keeping up with this social family’s busy lifestyle. Their Thornleigh balcony – with its ageing awning and dated lattice screening – was ready for a complete transformation.
Our team designed and built a beautiful Hamptons-style gable insulated roof, perfectly matched to the home’s weatherboard exterior and existing hardwood deck. The new roofline instantly lifted the space, creating an elegant, timeless look that feels right at home in Sydney’s leafy north.
To bring the area to life day and night, we added soft LED lighting and a central ceiling fan, making the second-storey patio comfortable in every season.
For privacy without losing style, we installed fixed half-height wall panels along with sleek slat screening, keeping the neighbouring outlook discreet while maintaining airflow.
The gable profile opens up the space beautifully, giving it a light and airy feel. It frames the surrounding bushland and offers the perfect splash-free vantage point over the pool – making this balcony the family’s new favourite spot to relax, unwind, and entertain.
