A lanai by the pool creates the perfect in between space, sheltered enough for a relaxed afternoon yet fully connected to the water and garden beyond. CKS Projects, custom home builder for Wollongong and the Illawarra, designs these covered outdoor rooms as genuine everyday living areas rather than purely decorative additions. Timber lined ceilings, ceiling fans and generous eaves keep the space comfortable across seasons while framing views of the pool and landscaping.
Clients across Corrimal, Austinmer and Thirroul are increasingly asking for a lanai or covered alfresco zone as part of their custom build, recognising how much everyday value an outdoor living space adds compared to a standard patio. Getting it right involves close coordination between structural design, roof framing and landscape architecture, along with consideration of sun path, prevailing coastal breezes and privacy from neighbouring properties.
