In this residential project, the outdoor surfaces are designed to cover expansive areas while allowing architectural and landscape features to define the space. The Mega Melville slab plays a central role, covering the surface of the outdoor areas and creating visual continuity between the different zones—both at the front and the back of the residence.
A Large Format Designed for Expansive Outdoor Areas
The Melville 60 is used to surface areas surrounding the home. Its format reduces the number of joints, resulting in a clean, refined finish that highlights the home’s volumes and architecture. It serves as the visual foundation of the landscape, allowing other elements—steps, pathways and planted areas—to structure the space in a clear, natural way.
Well-Defined Outdoor Living Areas
Mega Melville slabs define the main shared outdoor living spaces: the outdoor kitchen, dining area, pool deck and lounge area. Their streamlined appearance helps differentiate these zones without creating visual breaks. The slabs establish a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring a smooth transition without abrupt divisions.
Visual Continuity Between the Home and the Outdoors
The range Scandina Grey colour selected for this project enhances the warm tones of other materials used on the residence, such as wood and metal. This understated shade creates a strong visual link between the interior and exterior, making the outdoor spaces feel like a natural extension of the home’s architecture.
The Mega Melville slab contributes to a balanced, fluid outdoor layout that feels both cohesive and inviting.
Pathways Highlighted Through a Contrasting Laying Pattern
While the Mega Melville slab, installed in a linear laying pattern, unifies large surface areas, the Melville 60 slab introduces a subtle visual contrast that clearly defines the pathways. In this project, it is installed in a 45-degree modular laying pattern, adding movement to the layout and clearly distinguishing circulation zones. This variation in laying pattern connects outdoor spaces seamlessly, while maintaining harmony with the residence and surrounding landscaped areas.
Steps and Walls to Manage Transitions
Melville Plus 60 steps structure changes in elevation and provide access between the different areas. Their format and matching range Scandina Grey colour coordinate naturally with the Mega Melville slabs, ensuring smooth transitions between surfaces. The Melville Tandem wall, in the same colour used as a riser, delivers a clean, structured finish to the overall design.
A Cohesive Design at the Front and Back of the Home
Melville products are used consistently at both the front and rear of the residence. This continuity creates a cohesive outdoor design across the entire property—from the entrance to the relaxation areas in the backyard.
Colours to Suit a Variety of Styles
While range Scandina Grey dominates this project, the Melville collection is available in a range of colours, making it easy to tailor the atmosphere to different architectural styles—whether contemporary, modern or more traditional. This flexibility supports seamless integration into residential landscaping projects across Canada.
