Overview

## Outdoor living in the SEQ climate

Brisbane and the Gold Coast enjoy a subtropical climate that makes outdoor living genuinely year-round. Designing for this climate means getting the orientation, shading, ventilation and weather protection right — and choosing materials that can handle Queensland’s UV intensity, summer storms and coastal salt air.

Integrating outdoor living design with a home extension or renovation delivers better outcomes and can be more cost-effective than separate projects. We encourage this integrated approach.
