Why terraces and gardens should be planned with the rooms they belong to.
Start from the threshold
The most important part of a garden is the point where inside meets outside. Floor levels, materials and light should flow across that line.
Choose for the climate
Planting, paving and shade should suit local heat and sun. Good shade makes an outdoor space usable for more of the year.
Light the garden
Outdoor lighting extends the day and makes the view from inside part of the room after dark.
Plan the water and the care
Irrigation, drainage and a simple care guide at handover keep the landscape looking its best.
