Ortus Exteriors - NOW this house has everything the homeowner could ever need or want! Under the 900 sq. ft. attached roof, grill and smoke meats with the 25 ft. kitchen, serve drinks while watching the game by the bar, or sit on the hearth of a stone fire place. The rare, Sinker Cypress, reclaimed wood used for the roof was brought in from the swamps of Florida. The large pool is 48 by 23 feet with a Midnight Blue finish and features an immense boulder waterfall that used 12 tons of rock! The decking continues to the back of the pool for an elevated area perfect for dancing or watching the sunset. We loved this project and working with the homeowner. We design and build luxury swimming pools and outdoor living areas the way YOU want it. We focus on all-encompassing projects that transform your land into a custom outdoor oasis. Ortus Exteriors is an authorized Belgard contractor, and we are accredited with the Better Business Bureau.

Scarborough homeowners are increasingly choosing timber flooring that can handle the realities of coastal living — the salt air, the humidity shifts, the sun streaming through large west-facing windows for most of the year. For this Scarborough renovation, we installed Blackbutt in Lifewood's patented Stabilised Solid® system throughout the open plan living and dining areas. Blackbutt is one of Australia's most trusted native hardwoods — a warm golden timber with a tight, consistent grain that brightens a room without overpowering it. It handles Perth's coastal conditions exceptionally well and develops a beautiful character as it ages. Stabilised Solid® is Lifewood's patented flooring technology, developed specifically for Western Australia's climate. Every board uses the same premium Australian hardwood top and bottom — no composite core, no imported filler timber. A moisture barrier coating protects against humidity. Low-emission glue keeps the home safe. And every board is sandable up to four times, meaning this floor is built to last the lifetime of the home. Lifewood is Perth's only triple ATFA-accredited timber flooring manufacturer. ATFA Retailer of the Year 2025. 8,500+ Perth installations. Lifetime warranty on every floor. Species: Blackbutt — Australian native hardwood Technology: Stabilised Solid® patented construction Location: Scarborough, Western Australia Accreditation: Triple ATFA accredited — retail, installation and product innovation
