Wooler
The installation of a parking bay and extended driveway to provide off-street parking for several vehicles with a purpose-built chair lift for convenient access to the property.
We here at Domus thrive on challenges and problem-solving and will only stop when we know our client is truly happy with what we have provided. This project is a prime example and is a true reflection of our forte.
The bungalow sits high on top of a hill and enjoys beautiful scenic views. However, due to the incline of the hill, there was no functional or safe driveway for the homeowner and visitors to park their vehicles. Coupled with issues accessing the property entrance for our client due to mobility problems caused by the incline, an innovative design was required.

We achieved solving these issues by installing a state-of-the-art off-street parking bay, widening the original driveway entrance, and reducing the camber to now provide safe ample parking for several cars. In addition to this, we installed an external all-weather chair lift and a new staircase, allowing our client to journey from their vehicle at street level into the comfort of their hallway with shopping on board, reinstating their independence and providing added safety all day, all year round.
We also installed a light sensor system in the parking bay, steps, and driveway. As an added bonus, a high-charge electric car powerpoint was installed. The installation is finished off with premium permeable SUDS-compliant rustic stone setts to aid the environment.

Georgian Manor
A traditional sandstone patio and walkway to complement a beautiful Georgian manor for a timeless setting.
We had the pleasure and privilege of designing and installing one of our prestigious projects in this elegant Georgian manor. Our goal was to capture its era in its former glory and splendour of the days of Georgian garden parties.
A classic design using calibrated natural Indian sandstone creating a series of patios and walkways and an installation of a grand refurbished fountain has achieved this with immense pride and gratification for our client. Being mindful of our unpredictable British weather, we constructed a beautiful gazebo and parasol housing elegant garden furniture and lighting, ensuring optimum usage of this beautiful setting day or night.

Longhorsley, Northumberland
A resin-bound driveway combined with a natural Indian sandstone patio.
At Domus we encourage our clients to blend traditional with contemporary if their goal is to maintain the aesthetics of the property without compromising on new advanced systems to tackle the environmental problems we face in our world today.
This project in Longhorsley is a perfect example of this. Here we designed and installed a beautiful calibrated natural Indian sandstone front patio to enjoy the south-facing property frontage complimenting the stone property. At the same time, we blended the patio with a contemporary state-of-the-art resin-bound driveway system, solving the client’s previous flooding issues, with the new porous driveway now draining 850 litres of water per square metre per minute. Adding the fact it is non-slip, resistant to UV discolouration, weeds, frost, and maintenance free. Which provides the ultimate installation for the clients’ needs with breathtaking looks.

Golf Club
A contemporary porcelain terrace creates a relaxing social drinking and dining setting after a round of golf.
The golf club was a challenging but joyous project to install. Designing a large contemporary sleek practical and functional terrace, ideal for drinking and dining alfresco after a round of golf while continuing to enjoy watching fellow members play.
This was all successfully achieved by installing the finest Italian porcelain, ensuring beauty without compromising on durability and easy maintenance. With the added features of contemporary bespoke glass balustrades, befitting exclusive picnic-style benches, and a raised terrace for a greater vantage point, now only enhances this social and sporting venue.

Felton
A traditional extended driveway with the addition of a reversing bay using rustic stone setts.
At Domus, we are constantly looking to further your property, not only aesthetically but also functionally by being innovative to solve the modern lifestyle issues we face today.
Here we had a residential home originally built with a small tarmac driveway. Being attentive towards the problems our client faced with the multiple parking of cars and reversing issues as well as a failed surface, we redesigned and extended the driveway.
Now with a very practical reversing bay and extension both to the right of the property and entrance, the client has ample parking for visitors with the ease of maneuverability entering and exiting the property.
