Living outside
the ordinary
We have outdoor living rooms, and outdoor kitchens.
So why not an outdoor bathroom? Caroline Wesseling has
been commissioned by Inovo and Ecosmart Real Fires,
to design just that for this year’s Auckland Flower
Show.
Calling the garden ‘Living outside the ordinary’,
Caroline will design for the Courtyard Garden category,
which means meeting the theme of ‘urban paradise’.
“This will be the ultimate urban courtyard garden
paradise,” she says. “It transforms the bathroom
into an enclosed outdoor haven, evoking a sense of sanctuary,
luxury and serenity.”
The garden has been cleverly designed as a permeable
‘green’ space, with emphasis on creating a
sense of wellbeing and seclusion. Caroline will use
lush planting, warm colours and intimate lighting with
help of the Outdoor Lighting Company. Fire and water
are also integral to creating the relaxed, cozy atmosphere.
“After a hard day’s work, when there is little
time left, what better than to come home to a relaxing
outdoor bath before bed? It is truly, living outside
the ordinary,” she says.
