Design & Materials YOUR ARCHITECTURAL MOODBOARD by Amy Reeves
If creating a stronger link between garden
and home is high up on your house renovation
wish list, introduce the natural world into
your home with these brilliant design ideas
Connecting with
the great outdoors
A covered terrace
Below: The upside-down nature
of this rural self-build by Western
Design Architects lends itself
to a terrace with a retractable
covering. The garden design by
Caroline de Lane Lea means that
the second-storey terrace sits level
with the natural slope of the land.Courtyard views
Right: Where garden views are
limited, including a courtyard in
the layout of a home can provide
natural light to otherwise dark
rooms. This self-build by De
Rosee Sa was designed for a
narrow, deep plot and features
three internal courtyards.
