In the living areas of this light-filled family home, glass doors slide back to open to the timber deck and large pool beyond, creating an easy flow from inside to out. It’s where interior designer Pip Ganderton of PG Interior Studio, husband John and their three children spend most of their time – in the kitchen-living-dining area, plus the deck and garden beyond – and where they often host family and friends.
