In this residential project, the Melville 60 slab in range Scandina Grey stands out for its balanced proportions and clean lines, setting the tone for a precise, contemporary outdoor layout. Used as the primary surface material, it covers the entire space, including the lounge area, pool deck and spa. The backyard opens onto unobstructed views of the river, while the slabs ensure visual continuity between the different outdoor zones.
Thanks to its versatility, the Melville 60 slab supports a wide range of design styles—from contemporary and modern to chalet-inspired settings, which are especially popular across Canada. Its intermediate format strikes the right balance: large enough to create a seamless surface, yet flexible enough to clearly define individual spaces.
A Format Designed for a Balanced Layout
The Melville 60 slab is defined by its smooth texture, clean edges and refined finish. On this project, it covers walkways and relaxation areas while highlighting the natural character of the material.
Its format allows for a high level of design precision. It follows the architectural lines of the residence, adapts easily to the dimensions of the spa and pool, and creates clean transitions between zones.
A Modular Installation That Adds Rhythm
The modular laying pattern of the Melville 60 slab introduces a consistent visual rhythm across the patio. It avoids long, uninterrupted lines and pairs seamlessly with the straight lines of the pool and spa.
Melville Tandem Walls to Define Spaces
The Melville Tandem wall in range Scandina Grey defines the spa area, which serves as a transition between the pool, the deck and the lounge space. By clearly marking the change in elevation, it highlights the spa without enclosing the space or obstructing the view. Integrated with the slabs, the wall helps distinguish the different patio zones while preserving visual continuity between the pool, spa and seating areas.
Transparency in Harmony with the Landscape
The glass railing enhances the sense of openness and fully showcases the river view. The interplay between the slabs, capping, wall and glass railing creates a balanced composition in which the surrounding landscape remains a central feature.
Landscaped gardens around the perimeter complete the patio and soften the straight lines of the design without blocking the view.
Multiple Layout Possibilities
While this project features a precise configuration, the Melville collection offers numerous installation possibilities. Depending on the desired effect, it is possible to reverse colour contrasts by using darker surfaces with lighter accents, integrate steps or seat walls to manage elevation changes or create seating areas, or choose alternative layouts such as linear or 45-degree installation pattern.
An Alternative Option in Warmer Tones
For a different design, the Melville 60 slab is also available in range Amber Beige. The Melville Plus capping and Melville Tandem wall are offered in the same colour, making it possible to design a monochromatic outdoor space with warmer tones—while maintaining the same level of precision, clean lines and visual consistency.
