When executed thoughtfully, modern design creates contemporary outdoor spaces that are both structured and inviting, where clean lines provide a framework for materials in warm, natural tones.
In this project, Mega Melville slabs in range Scandina Grey, combined with Melville capping in the same colour, structure a complete residential backyard featuring a pool, spa, water feature, outdoor fire pit and multiple relaxation and lounge areas. Each element is part of a cohesive composition designed for everyday use.
Conrete Slabs That Organize the Space
The Mega Melville slab stands out for its large format, smooth surface and clean lines, making it ideal for creating continuous surfaces around the pool and walkways. It helps clearly organize the landscape design without multiplying transitions or materials.
On this project, a linear laying pattern establishes clear axes between the different backyard zones. This layout clearly defines swimming, relaxation, circulation and gathering areas while maintaining overall visual cohesion.
A Modern Style with Subtle Contrasts
Stepping stones structure the landscape with a light touch, create visual rhythm and enhance the impression of a zen-inspired garden, where every detail has its place. Here, they form an outdoor pathway between the pool and the sheds, naturally guiding movement. Installed at calculated intervals in the lawn, they provide a practical walkway while allowing the landscape to breathe.
Precise, Harmonious Pool Capping
Melville Plus capping, also available in range Scandina Grey, precisely frames the swimming pool. It creates a clean transition between the pool and the Mega Melville slab surface. The result is a refined pool edge that complements the clean lines and modern character of the overall design.
Depending on the desired effect, other capping options could also suit this project. For example, Leno capping, with its rounded profile, is an ideal solution for pool edges and adds a softer touch to the pool edge. Its 36-inch format is particularly well suited to rectangular pools. Laguna capping, with its grounded finish, delivers a high-end look and creates an exceptionally smooth pool edge—highly sought after in contemporary landscape designs.
A Precise Project With a Slab Offering Endless Possibilities
This project highlights a linear installation and a restrained colour palette, well suited to modern architecture. However, the Mega Melville slab offers numerous possibilities for residential landscape design. Depending on project goals, it can also:
- be installed in an offset pattern to introduce more movement
- be paired with capping in a contrasting colour to create a different visual effect
- be combined with other Permacon pavers or slabs to vary textures while maintaining overall harmony
This versatility makes it a preferred choice for homeowners, landscape professionals and architects alike.
An Outdoor Slab Designed to Last
The Mega Melville slab is an architectural concrete slab inspired by the look of stone. Its smooth surface and colour range create a consistent exterior finish, with minimal variation from one slab to another, for a uniform appearance. It offers excellent stability and strong resistance to the elements, making it a trusted choice for homeowners, contractors, landscape designers and architects.
An Outdoor Layout Designed as a Living Space
Created as an open-air living space, this outdoor layout naturally extends the home outdoors. The Mega Melville slab creates a continuous, refined surface that accommodates an outdoor kitchen, dining area and lounge with a fire pit. It provides a comfortable setting for entertaining, cooking and fully enjoying the backyard—from morning to evening.
