Outdoor Alfresco in Somerville

Location: Somerville, Mornington Peninsula

Stage: Construction 2025

Pool and Alfresco Design on the Mornington Peninsula

This outdoor living and pool alfresco project in Somerville transforms an underutilised backyard into a seamless extension of the home with relaxed, functional space designed for year-round entertaining and family life on the Mornington Peninsula.

Outdoor Entertainment Area: Built for Peninsula Living

Somerville’s semi-rural character and generous block sizes offer a real opportunity to bring indoor and outdoor living together. Our team worked closely with the homeowners to understand how they wanted to use the space, whether gathering with friends, dining outside, or simply having a private spot to unwind.

The design connects a covered alfresco and pool area directly to the kitchen and living zones, creating a natural flow from inside to out. Orientation, sun access and shelter from the prevailing winds were all considered carefully to keep the space comfortable through every season.

The covered alfresco structure is designed to complement the home’s roofline and materials, making it feel like an original part of the build rather than an afterthought. Paving, garden beds and pool surrounds were selected with the coastal climate in mind — durable enough to handle salt air and summer heat while remaining low maintenance for a busy family. For homeowners across Somerville, Baxter, Tyabb and the wider Mornington Peninsula, this kind of integrated outdoor project adds both liveability and long-term property value.
