Barn courtyard garden

A palette of natural, traditional and salvaged materials was utilized within modern styling for the space, providing a nature friendly yet minimalistic haven for relaxation, entertainment and outdoor cooking.

Ornamental trees such as Acer 'Osakazuki', Ficus and Betula alongside structural evergreen hedges provide a lush sense of enclosure while adding softness and drama to the black barn walls. Resilient self seeding herbs run through the gravel areas bringing softness, fragrance, seasonality and nature benefit while also being available for culinary use.

Statement feature pots create punctuation including the subtle water element provided by a large planted water bowl which insects, birds and resident mammals visit to drink from while it gently cools the space.

This courtyard is enjoyed year round and has provided a welcome extension to the living space within this semi rural location.
