Smart thinking…

This courtyard was designed to accommodate a car if and when needed. Bluestone pavers were the perfect choice for the flooring. “Their soft grey tones are very neutral and don’t show tyre marks as much as other pavers,” says Lachie. “The low iron content means you don’t get rust marks either.” The pavers are from Bamstone, a bluestone specialist. The adjacent red pavers are bricks recycled from the renovation. They are laid at a 45-degree angle on their sides, “which is a lot of work but looks spectacular”.
